But I would speak directly with an attorney to make sure you don't have the same matter pending... View More

Lived together for 9 years, I have paternity but not legitimacy, child is 4 years old
answered on Jun 3, 2024
I am unaware of what you are asking about and what your ex is referring too. But if you want to legitimize a child, there are steps you take within the court system to do so. And I would consider legitimacy before the child gets much older.
