Atlanta Paternity Lawyer
Paternity Attorney in Georgia
Men who were not married to the mothers of their children still have rights. The state of Georgia has a process called legitimation that allows men to establish legal rights to their children. The process creates a parent-child relationship, allows the child to inherit from the father and provides several other benefits.
Benefits of Legitimation
The father can be named on the birth certificate after the court issues an order of legitimation. Another reason to undertake the legitimation process is to obtain custody and visitation. An unmarried father may not obtain custody rights without first being legally recognized as the child's biological father. Also, a man may be able to oppose a step-parent adoption if he is named as the legitimate father of a child.
