In Georgia, legitimation is the legal process an unmarried biological father must complete to be recognized as the child’s legal father with enforceable parental rights. Even if he signed the birth certificate, pays child support, or has an established relationship, he does not automatically gain custody or visitation rights unless he legitimates the child (or marries the mother). Once granted, legitimation can allow the father to seek custody, parenting time/visitation, decision-making rights, and can also establish inheritance rights between father and child.
