Legitimation: In Georgia, legitimation allows the biological father to be recognized by law as the legal father when a child is born out of wedlock. The superior and juvenile courts have concurrent jurisdiction in legitimation cases.
Legitimation operates as a process of formal recognition, transforming the legal status of a child. In the context of family law, this typically involves the acknowledgment of paternity by the father, establishing a legal link between the child and the non-marital parent.
The first (incipient) level of legitimation is the creation of language that is implicitly legitimating. The second level of legitimation entails the articulation of a set of rudimentary claims or maxims. At a third level of legitimation, an explicit theory based on an autonomous body of knowledge is developed.

Legitimation is about the childs status as being lawfully begotten, [or] born in wedlock, [or] having or involving full filial rights and obligations by birth. Carter v. Carter, 232 N.C. 614, 616 (1950). A child is declared or deemed to be legitimate.
What Is Child Legitimization? Child legitimization is the process of officially recognizing a child born outside of marriage as the legal child of the father. Signing the birth certificate can be a step toward legitimizing the child, but additional legal steps may be needed depending on the jurisdiction.
