Legitimation

Secure Your Child's Rights: Consult with Our Legitimation Attorney

Legitimation is the legal process of proving the paternity of a child. If you believe a child is your biological child or you want to hold the father responsible for his child, we encourage you to work with a legitimation attorney in Atlanta. At Chisolm Trimble & Associates, LLC, our law firm provides clients with outstanding support throughout this sometimes complicated process.

If you and the mother of your child were not married at the time of the child’s birth, it is important for you to work with an attorney who understands father’s rights. Georgia does not give an unwed father any specific rights, in spite of the fact they may be liable for child support payments.

In order to have a relationship with your child, there is a specific process you will have to go through to ensure your rights are protected. One of our father’s rights attorneys in our Douglasville, or Albany Georgia offices can help you file a legitimation action in Georgia Superior Court.



We understand how important it is for you to have access to your child, and build a strong relationship with them. Once the court approves your legitimation petition, you will have the same rights as the child’s mother, including having a say in the child’s health care, education, and other matters.

Meet with us to discuss how legitimation may impact your child custody, visitation, and child support requirements. I understand the emotional and financial challenges that come from these difficult cases, and I will not leave your side through them.
