Best Answer

The custodial parent or legal guardian files a lawsuit for child support in the state in which the minor child resides (in this case, Georgia). The non custodial parent will be served with a summons regardless of where he or she lives. Federal law mandates all U.S. states honor and enforce child support lawsuits and/or orders of support.

Can a judge make you pay child support if the child is not legitimized in the state of Georgia?

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.

What does a father have to do to not pay child support in georgia?

In general, to terminate child support, you need to show the court that: you have custody of the child; the child is deceased; the child has been adopted; the child is emancipated; the child has attained majority; and/or you have no income other than public assistance; AND, you do not owe any past-due support.


In Georgia can a father sign over his rights if the mother is not married and would he have to pay child support?

In the state of Georgia if father of the child wants all rights terminated is he still liable for child support?

Yes. see linksAns 2.The father has the option to waive his rights if he wants to, and if he can convince the judge that he is sane, sober and not under coercion as he does so.This has nothing at all to do with child support, which is not his right, but his responsibility. In general the mother can't waive child support either, because support is her child's right, not hers.THAT IS CORRECT.....unless the child's mother has re-married and her husband wants to adopt this child, that would release the biological father from paying child support.
