Q: My boyfriends ex gave custody of their child to her mother. How does he go about getting custody?
The mother signed her rights away to her her mother with out giving the father a choice if he wanted her or not. How does he go about getting custody of his child? She is not legitimized but there is a state given dna test done proving she is his.
A:
It is best to contact an attorney as soon as possible who can assist you with the specifics of the case. He will have to legitimize, because in the state of Georgia dna testing is not enough.
We are glad to assist you. Contact us whenever you are ready.
I wish you well.

He needs to file for legitimation and custody. Unless and until he files for legitimation, your boyfriend has no rights.
