It depends. Hire a Georgia family law attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation. For instance, if you were married to the mother at the time of the birth of the child, you do not have to legitimate to have parental responsibilities. In Georgia, it doesn't matter if you are or are not on the birth certificate in terms of whether you have parental responsibilities.
Best of luck.*******The above is for informational purposes and does not create at attorney-client privilege.*******
