FAQ
A legitimation petition may be filed in the juvenile court of the county in which a deprivation proceeding regarding the child is pending. If there is a pending petition for adoption of the child, the father must file the legitimation petition in the county in which the adoption petition is filed.
Legitimation can be refused if the court finds that the father has abandoned his opportunity interest, is unfit due to abuse or substance issues, or if legitimation is not in the child's best interest.
If both parents freely agree and consent that the child may be legitimated, both the mother's and father's signatures are required. The signatures must be notarized and photo identification is also required.
Process of Legitimation Filing of the Application: The application for legitimation is filed at the Local Civil Registrar's office where the birth of the child was registered. Requirements: Submission of the Certificate of Live Birth of the child, marriage certificate of the parents, and a valid ID for both parents.
To modify a child custody agreement in Fulton County, a parent must show that there has been a material change in their circumstances. This change must have taken place after their prior custody order and directly affect their children's needs enough to warrant a modification.
The Petition for Legitimation must be filed in the mother's county of residence, the child's county of residence, in the county where any other person who has legal custody or guardianship resides. If there is an adoption pending, then the Petition can be filed in the county where the adoption was filed.
