Embracing Legitimation: A Supportive Guide for Moms
LEGITIMATION is a legal process that allows a non-married father to establish his legal rights and responsibilities as a parent. In Georgia, if a child is born to unmarried parents, the father must go through legitimation to be recognized as the child’s legal father. This process can provide numerous benefits for both the mother and the child.
THE LEGITIMATION PROCESS can be a positive and empowering experience for both the mother and the child. By understanding the benefits and legal implications of legitimation, you can make informed decisions that support the best interests of your child and strengthen your family’s foundation.
