Legitimation

Legitimation

Legitimation is the way through which the biological father of a child can claim legal parentage of the child born out of the wedlock. Born out of wedlock means the parents of the child were not married to each other at the time of birth.

How Legitimation Can Be Helpful For a Child?

Legitimation allows the child to inherit from a father everything that a legitimate child deserves including the name, family and medical history and a right to placement in the home of the father. Without asking for Legitimation from court, only the biological mother has custody rights and decision-making authority of the child.
