Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

amending birth certificates

I need to know how to remove a father's name from a birth certificate and replace it with the biological father's name. The child has already been legitimized and had her last name changed to her biological father's last name. I need proper filing procedures and forms if available. Thanks!
