Legal Guidance Through Legitimation Action In Cumming

Establishing paternity is an important and necessary step for unwed parents in Georgia. When unmarried couples have a child in our state, the father has no automatic rights to the child at all, including legal and physical custody. For a father to gain these rights, they will need to go through the legitimation process to gain these rights. In order to quickly establish paternity, you deserve the assistance of a skilled legal team.

Whether you are the mother or father of a child, we can lead you through the legitimation process to protect your best interests as well as your children’s.

Understanding The Benefits Of Paternity

Many people believe that paternity is necessary to secure child support in Georgia, but this is not the case. Instead, paternity offers other benefits, like granting the children access to their father’s inheritance, medical and life insurance benefits, allowing fathers to develop a bond with their children, and even allowing children to have a complete medical history.

As a father, we can guide you through filing a petition in Superior Court or navigating through the Georgia Paternity Acknowledgement Program. Our guidance can reduce the time and effort necessary to establish paternity can grant a father the rights and responsibility that come with being a father.
