And you live in one of the few states with this required legitimation process, don't you?
Now that I reread what you originally said, I realized I was confused when I replied. I'm assuming that you live in Georgia (since you used it in your explanation). I live in Georgia, too.


I'll have to go back in my history to find the official GA government link where I read this, but here it is from GeorgiaCourts.org.

Establishing Paternity & Legitimation Under Georgia Law

AMEN!

If there is one thing that is common between custody stories, is that 3rd parties never get all the information and I can think of a number of issues with your friend's sob stories. If you encounter a sad man with illegitimate children, tell him to get off his ass and google his rights. If he can afford to take a girl out to dinner on a Friday night, surely he has a spare hour on Saturday morning to use a computer at the library and find some phone numbers/custody information?

Stop infantilizing men who don't try to enforce their rights. Their age is NO excuse, you understand "we" millenials aren't 12 years old anymore?
Well, I don't know how old you are, but I'm 19. I was stating the age of millennials because some people may not know our age range. It wasn't meant to be used as a crutch.

Please list the number of issues that you see with the "sob stories". And for the record, I never said they were my friends. To know someone personally doesn't mean that you're friends.

I understand where you're coming from and I totally agree. However, the matter of fact is that a lot of time, people don't think about the bad things that can happen. I don't understand it either. He probably wouldn't even need to go to the library. Chances are he has a laptop, iPhone, or iPad to look it up himself.

One of my closest friends is living with her boyfriend because her roommates didn't want to live with her again. Of course I told her that she's making a stupid decision, but she told me that "he's the one". Is it possible that he may be "the one"? Of course. But chances are, they'll be broken up by summer time. I would never live with a boyfriend without signing a cohabitation agreement, but that's just me.

I live in Pennsylvania. I suggested you start this poll in the Georgia forum because this law doesn't apply to many other states.

In most states when an unmarried father signs the bc he also signs an affidavit of paternity. Then he is the legal father. End of story.

I think most dads know to sign the BC so what's the problem?

Also there appears to be a typo in the poll, what are you asking?
