If a paternity test proves that a man is the father of a child, he may be ordered to pay child support. On the other hand, legitimation confers rights to the child onto a father, including rights for visitation and custody. It also obligates him to pay child support.
The current marital status of the parents have no bearing on paternity or legitimation, and even the father's name on the birth certificate does not necessarily entitle the father to any legal rights or visitation to the child. Therefore, it is important to ensure that your legal rights are protected in a paternity or legitimation action in Georgia.
