Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Hello, By Nigerian law, can i be awarded full custody of my son as a single mother who has never been married? I have a 2 yr old son who's father (my ex-boyfriend) has refused to acknowledge. I live in Nigeria with my son but my ex is in south africa. I have been solely responsible for my son from day one but i live in the fear that his father will wake up one day and try to take my son from me. Do i have any legal recourse to be granted full custody on grounds of abandonment or such?.

If you are a resident of Nigeria, you would need to seek the advice of a Nigerian attorney. This post has appeared in Georgia and Georgia law does not apply.
