One way to legitimize a child is to take a paternity test or have the father sign a paternity acknowledgment form. If the mother married the father before the child is born this will also legitimize the child.

Could a Child Support order legitimize a child in Ga?

A "legitimate" child is one whose parents were married when s/he was born; therefore, a child support order cannot "legitimize" a child.


If a father has never been legitimized is he still responsible for child support arrears?

A simple DNA test would be sufficient to legitimize the father. If the result were positive, chances are that he would have to pay child support.AnswerI believe after a paternity test is conducted and results prove he is the child's father, you can legally claim child support. Claiming doesn't necessarily mean you will get something, it all depends on your situation and the fathers and of course the court will be involved. I would look into the DCF department of your state. Every state has their own laws.

If a father never lagetamize his child does he have rights?

If the father does not go before a judge and ask to legitimize a child, he does NOT have rights to that child, neither does HIS family....BUT he still has an obligation to pay child support. Legitimize that child! Not legitimizing a child can cause all kinds of problems if something were to happen to the child's mother. My son had signed my grand-daughter's birth certificate, AND we had a DNA test, my son was sent to prison, my grand-daughter's mother ran off leaving me to care for my grand-daughter. I took care of her for 3 years, but because my son had not legitimized her formally in court....the courts said I had no legal rights to my grand-daughter and this caused a LOT of heartache and problems for me and my grand-daughter later when her mother popped back in and snatched her up!

Do you have to have a DNA test to lagetimize a child?

That depends on the law where you live. In most places, signing the birth certificate or your name otherwise appearing on it as the father is enough to legitimize a child. In other states, that isn't enough and the father has to sign papers and file them in court to legitimize their child and/or undergo a court ordered paternity test. Providing your state (or country, if outside the USA) would help us to provide you with an accurate answer.

Can a father come back and take you to court if he didnt legitimize the child and the mother sign her rights over to someone else?

Take you to court for what? Custody? If you have had your parental rights terminated, you no longer have any authority over the child for that purpose if it was done through the courts. If you just gave the child to someone else without court authority or legal modification to an existing custody order, yes, he could do that.
