Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

child custody

I have a 9 month old son. I am not married to his dad, although his name is on the birth certificate. Is it illegal for me to take my son out of state without his consent?

Re: child custody

The child is illegitimate. The father has no access rights to the child. Yes, you can do whatever you want with your son. However, he cannot.
