Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

legitimation concerns

I have recently married the mother of my daughter and am concerned about legitimating. We were never able to file for legitimation prior to our marriage. Does legitimation still need to be filed or does our recent marriage take care of the legitimation. I am listed as the father on the birth certificate.
