Legitimation is the right you have to recognize your children

Many fathers find out—after a breakup—that they have no legal rights over their children born out of wedlock. Even if their name appears on the birth certificate and the mother acknowledges paternity, that’s not enough to guarantee custody, visitation, or participation in important decisions about the child. In Georgia, the path to obtaining those rights is through a legal process called legitimization. It’s a crucial step for a father to legally establish a bond with his child—and from there, request joint custody, regular visitation, and even fulfill financial responsibilities under a fair and balanced legal framework.

Difference between paternity and legitimization

While many people think paternity and legitimization are the same, they are actually very different legal processes.

Paternity refers to biological recognition—being the child’s father by blood. You may be listed on the birth certificate and still have no legal rights over your child.

Legitimization, on the other hand, is the legal process that grants those rights. Through legitimization in Georgia, you can obtain joint custody, visitation rights, decision-making power in your child’s upbringing, and ensure your child has rights over you, such as inheritance.

Don’t let a legal situation keep you from being close to your child. With the right support, you can reclaim your role and build a future where both of you are protected by law.

Thank you for your excellent work and for helping me during my divorce process. I recommend it 100%.

Albert Peréz

Caroline is a detail-oriented lawyer. She goes above and beyond to defend her clients and find evidence to provide the truth to the judge. My narcissistic ex got less than 25% of what he was asking for because he didn't deserve it and Caroline and her team were able to prove it through subpoenas to obtain the documents he refused to provide.

Carolina was a key part of my custody battle. Although he could not take my case, he gave me 30 minutes on the phone. That changed our outcome and we were awarded physical custody of our daughter. His love and passion for helping everyone is unprecedented.
