Georgia Court of Appeals

Ashley L. Durden v. Jeremy D. Anderson

A16A1089 September 1, 2016 Affirmed

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The Georgia Court of Appeals held that a biological father has an opportunity interest to develop a relationship with his child, requiring the trial court to determine if legitimation is in the child's best interest. The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's orders regarding legitimation and custody because sufficient evidence supported those findings.
