Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

In the state of GA (child and mother lives) can the courts force a mother to allow the father to legitimize the child if there is no court order for the father to pay child support, the mother does not get welfare, the father does not work at this time, but the father puts $50 in the mothers bank account every now and then. During the entire life of the child, the father only worked 6 months total. The father never wanted to change the child's last name and never wanted his name on the birth certificate until now. Also, if the mother allows the father to visit from time to time at her house or in the residing state of the child and talk on the phone, will the courts force her to allow the child to visit the father in his state of residency (NC)? The father's name is not on the birth certificate at this time and the child is 6 years old.
