What will happen if the mother doesn't want the father to have paternal rights?
In the UK, if you are married when your children are born, you both automatically have parental rights. If you are not married, then you have to apply for parental responsibility rights, if the mother does not want to share that with you. This can be done by court order. After 2003, if not married but father is written on the birth certificate, that is enough to have parental responsibility and all that that entails. Not sure how it is for you guys in the USA!

Will my child get his fathers last name in the state of Georgia since we are not legally married?
The father would need to prove paternity if the parents were not married. He would also need to provide evidence the change in name is in the best interest of the child. If the child lives with the mother who has custody it is unlikely the court will allow the name change. If the father didn't marry the child's mother there is no reason for the court to allow the child's name to be changed.
