If a child is born out of wedlock in Georgia, the father must file a petition seeking legitimation through the courts to become the legal father. Putting a name on a birth certificate is not sufficient. In the legitimation proceeding, the court has the authority to make custody determinations.
If the father has not filed for legitimation, he is a legal stranger to the child, and has no rights to custody.
