A: You are correct, since you haven't been married and he hasn't legitimized he doesn't have any legal rights to the child. Speak to the school to make sure they are aware of that and see if there is anything specific they need from you showing who you give permission for her to be picked up by. If you need a specific legal paper for them you may want to have an attorney draw one up for you that they can keep on file. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558 HomerJordan.com
