Discuss Your Situation With a Smyrna Paternity Lawyer
In the state of Georgia, the action known as "legitimation" is the legal way for the father of a child to establish legal rights to that child. An order of legitimation will create a legal relationship between a father and child, will list the legal father to be listed on a child's birth certificate and will allow the father to be legally recognized for custody and/or visitation rights.
If you are the father of a child and you wish to assert your rights, it is crucial to seek an order of legitimation from the Georgia court. At the Herrin Law Firm, P.C., in Marietta, our firm assists fathers with the legal action of legitimation in order to preserve their parental rights.

Experienced Marietta Legitimation Attorney
Legitimation can be necessary in custody cases or if there is an adoption pending. Even if you are already listed on the child's birth certificate as the father, but you and the child's mother were not married to each other, it is still mandatory to file a petition with the court in order to legitimate that child.
If there is no other father listed on the birth certificate and no one contests the legitimation, the process is fairly easy and straightforward. When there is a dispute, however, you need a strong advocate on your side who will stand up for your rights. Attorney Parisa Herrin is an experienced litigator in family courts throughout metro Atlanta.
