To legitimize a child in Georgia, the biological parents must first establish paternity, typically through a voluntary acknowledgment or a court order if the father is not married to the mother. After establishing paternity, the parents can file a legitimation petition with the Superior Court in the county where the child resides. It's important to serve notice to the mother and any other necessary parties. Once the court reviews the case, it may grant legal status, allowing the father to have rights and responsibilities toward the child.
