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.

If you are facing divorce and not sure where to turn, contact a Cordell & Cordell divorce attorney.
