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.


What if the mother of the child fied for child support in Georgia and the father lives in New york and he wanted to legitimize the child after the child support court order do He have to go to Georgia?

Yes. However, if the parents are not married the Georgia court will establish paternity legally in order to issue a child support order. If that's where the mother and child live and mother filed there, that court will have jurisdiction. The father should cooperate with the DNA testing to establish paternity.Yes.

How would you call a child who has no mother?

If the Mother is dead or absent, it is Motherless. If the child has no parents alive or around, then that child is an orphan.


Do you still pay child support if a child is removed from your custody and then adopted out?

If the child is in foster care you pay but not if the child is adopted. Then the child have new parents who are responsible for him/her.
