Re: Psochological Parental rights

To get parental rights, you would have to adopt the child. Take a look at O.C.G.A. � 19-8-3. You can check out the GA code at: http://www.legis.state.ga.us/cgi-bin/gl_codes_detail.pl?code=1-1-1 You should consult with a local attorney because this is a complicated process.

Unfornately, you will not be able to gain parental rights to this child if you are not the biological father. The mother does not have to allow you any future visits.
