Want this question answered?
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.
No. This will require legal action.
Your spouse may adopt the child but the court will have to serve notice of that proceeding to the biological father.
BAD
Unless the child has been legally emancipated by the courts, no. A child must reach the age of majority in Georgia (18) before they may legally make the decision on where to live.
The court will likely enter a default order; if you are the obligor, you will not like its terms.
A child is no longer a minor in Georgia when he or she turns 18.
The legal age of majority in Georgia is 18. One must be 18 to enter into a legal and binding contract.
No age restrictions for a child to ride on a motorcycle in the U.S. Georgia
They will have a child to raise.
Yes! Georgia is unique from many states in that the parents cannot kick out the child until age 18, but the child may leave at 17. This is the result of a loophole of sorts (because Georgia decided that you can go to prison at age 17).No, you have to turn 18 or over before moving out of Georgia.
No, not in Georgia or anywhere else.
