How do you verify if a child is legitimized?

Answer 1

If you feel you need that personal information then you should ask the parent(s). There is generally no public "legitimacy" register.

Legitimate, in this sense, means born in wedlock or of legally married parents- a legal heir. By legitimation a man not married to the mother can confer legitimacy on his child by acknowledging the child to be his. The father would then be responsible for providing support to the child and the child is entitled to inherit from the father. Inheritance is the main factor and this was important in earlier times. However, modern law took that power and privilege away from the father and provides statutory protections for children whose parents are unmarried.

In modern times it is no longer necessary to obtain legitimacy from the father. The laws of intestacy provide the child of an unmarried father with the right of inheritance as long as paternity can be established. Also, an unmarried father who denies his child can be required to participate in a court ordered DNA test to confirm his paternity.

Answer 2

There is no way to be entirely positive, though it is possible to determine they are NOT your child through blood typing, but that only eliminates a percentage of the nots, not all of them.

Answer 3

you need to submit a DNA test, with your child's DNA and yours.

Answer 4

Go to your doctor and he will do a blood test.

A blood group test is not enough, only a full DNA test will give the whole picture.
