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.
Illustrative Example: If a child was conceived by parents who were both single and later married each other, the child may be legitimated. However, if either parent was married to another person at the time of conception, legitimation is not possible, even if the parents later marry each other.
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.
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.
