You can file a petition for child custody in your countys Superior Court. If you are divorcing, the petition will be included in your divorce papers. You must then serve, or deliver, custody forms to the other party using a process server or sheriffs office. There are two types of child custody: physical and legal.
A biological father of a child born out of wedlock may file a Petition for Legitimation. This petition must be filed in the Superior Court of the county where the childs mother or legal custodian resides.
Without legitimation, these fathers have no right to custody or visitation with the children (although the laws say they have the obligation to support them financially). Without legitimation, mothers have sole custody of children born out of wedlock.
How long does legitimation take in GA? The duration can vary based on the complexity of the case and the courts schedule. On average, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.
