A "legitimate" child is one whose parents were married when s/he was born; therefore, a child support order cannot "legitimize" a child.
One way to legitimize a child is to take a paternity test or have the father sign a paternity acknowledgment form. If the mother married the father before the child is born this will also legitimize the child.
Yes, a mother can refuse a DNA test to legitimize a child; however, this can complicate her ability to seek child support. Courts typically require paternity to be established, often through a DNA test, before ordering child support. If she refuses the test, it may lead to difficulties in enforcing child support claims. Ultimately, the legal outcome depends on jurisdiction and specific circumstances.
You can sign away your rights, but you will still owe for child support. The child is yours.

You don't - You explain the benefits that support could provide for the child.
In Georgia, if you marry the mother of your child after the child is born, the child is automatically legitimized through the marriage. This means that the child has the same legal rights as if they were born to married parents from the outset. However, it is advisable to take formal steps to ensure all legal documentation reflects this status, especially if there are custody or support considerations.

The parent of an illegitimate child may ask for child support. Regardless if the parents have ever been married, every child deserves to grow up with the support of both parents.
Well not usually but it could happen
If the minor father has no means of paying child support, then yes his parents could be responsible for that. Answer2: Sadly the parents could be on the hook especially if the minor child lives with them and has no way to support a baby. Best thing you can do is try to meet with the other grandparents and see what can be done as well as make a visit to Social Services to see what benefits the child may be eligible for.
