Legitimation Law Services
Helping Fathers Secure Legal Parental Rights in Georgia
Biological fatherhood does not automatically come with legal rights. In Georgia, an unmarried father must file for legitimation to obtain custody, visitation, and decision-making authority over their child. At Tyler Family Law, LLC, we help fathers navigate this legal process and fight for their right to be involved in their child’s life.
What Is Legitimation?
In Georgia, legitimation is the legal process that gives a biological father the right to:
- Seek custody or parenting time
- Be involved in legal decisions affecting the child’s life
- Have their name legally recognized as the child’s father
- Build a legally protected relationship with their child
Without legitimation, a biological father has no legal parental rights—even if he is listed on the birth certificate.
How We Help with Legitimation
We guide fathers through every stage of the legitimation process:
- Filing Legitimation Petitions: We help prepare and submit the correct documents to the court to begin your case.
- Custody & Visitation Rights: Once legitimation is granted, we pursue a parenting plan that includes fair and meaningful time with your child.
- Representation in Contested Cases: If the mother opposes legitimation, we represent your interests and advocate for a strong father-child relationship.
- Negotiating Parenting Plans: We help fathers and mothers reach agreements on how to co-parent successfully.
