Is this for a paternity issue?
Geoff, Expert
I understand. Is there a custody case open?
Geoff, Expert
Sure. The first thing that you have to do is file for custody & open the case.
After that, you can legally establish paternity by getting the judge in the custody case to order a DNA test.
Geoff, Expert
Yes, the Georgia guide on how to get started can be found here:
