Legitimization – The First Step for Fathers of Children Born Out of Wedlock.

Legitimization is the legal process by which an unwed father can establish legal rights to their child. This is a very important step to pursing your legal rights as an un-wed dad in Georgia.  We understand the importance of this process in ensuring both parents’ involvement in a child’s life. At the Law Office of Gina Smalley, we’ll work closely with you to navigate the legitimization process, address any related custody or visitation issues, and ensure that your child’s best interests remain at the forefront.
