They certainly can. The judge is the 500 lb elephant in the room. He or she can make any ruling they so desire as long as it is not in violation of state law and the laws of Georgia state that the named father has an obligation to support their child whether the child is legitimized or not, unless the father can prove via a court ordered paternity test that he is not the father. Legitimization of the child is to protect the father's right to visitation and custody and has absolutely nothing to do with support obligations.
