Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Re: legitamizing a child

You do need to provide more information as Mr. Ashman indicated, but I can tell you that you will need to file a legitimating claim with the court where your child resides, which might be simple if the mother consents to your fatherhood. Then you need to seek custody/visitation after the child is legitimized.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.

The foregoing is general information only, not specific legal advice. No attorney/client relation has been created or should be implied.

Re: legitamizing a child

There is no way to answer you with so little information, as the procedure will vary depending on the county where it is filed and whetherthe mother consents and whether you have reached an agreement with her about support, visitation, medical insurance, custody and other issues. These are things you need to meet with a lawyer about.
