Every year, tens of thousands of children are born outside of marriage in the United States. Fathers often assume that, because they have been in a committed relationship with the mother, that they automatically have rights concerning their child. This may be true in some states, but in the state of Georgia, there are no automatic father’s rights. The mother is the only one allowed physical or legal custody of the child. The father would need to go through the process of establishing paternity, and legitimating the child, or lose all legal rights involving the custody and care of the child. The law office of William R. Pike Law LLC can assist you in getting the rights you deserve with your child.
The child custody attorney Dallas GA, can help you with the process necessary to obtain your legal paternity rights. The easiest way to establish paternity is for both parents to sign and file a voluntary acknowledgement of paternity, which can be facilitated with the help of the child custody attorney Dallas, William R. Pike. The next step is to legitimate your child because just having your name on the birth certificate does not establish a legal relationship. The Dallas child custody attorney can help you take this to the Superior Court if the mother refuses any attempt on your behalf to legitimate your child.
