About This Episode
Join host Jason Lasser and guest Alexis Coleman-Watkins on the Men’s Divorce Podcast as they discuss a legal term you might not be familiar with called “legitimation.” Legitimation is the right that allows the biological father to be recognized as the legal parent of a child born out of wedlock. In some states fathers have no rights to a child born out of wedlock until a Legitimation Order is entered. In this episode, Lasser and Watkins go over your rights as a father, as well as valuable tips and insights that go into this legal process. The more you know, the better of an argument you can make for custody.
