Fighting Fathers exists to help you understand your situation and get organized. That is real, useful help — and it is different from having a lawyer. This page draws that line clearly.

Not a law firm

Fighting Fathers is not a law firm and does not provide legal representation. Information provided through this service is for legal information and self-help purposes and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney. Purchase does not create an attorney-client relationship.

No attorney-client relationship

Nobody at Fighting Fathers represents you. Using this site, buying a product or entering information here does not create an attorney-client relationship, and what you enter is not protected by attorney-client privilege.

Educational and self-help purpose

Our explanations, roadmaps, checklists, packets, templates and document drafts are educational and self-help materials. Anything you file is a self-prepared document that you review, sign and submit in your own name.

Georgia only, for now

The current service covers Georgia. Other states are marked coming soon and no legal information is provided for them. Within Georgia, counties and individual judges set their own local forms, filing fees, service rules and e-filing requirements.

Verify before you file

Laws, court rules, forms, fees and procedures change. Always confirm current requirements with the clerk of the superior court in the correct county before filing. Where we do not have verified official information, we say so rather than guessing: “This information needs to be verified before we provide a specific instruction.”

Results are not guarantees

Your Rights Check classification and your Action Plan describe how Georgia law generally applies to the facts you entered. They are not predictions and not guarantees of legitimation, custody, parenting time, support or any other court outcome. A judge decides your case on your full record.

No judgments about the other parent

This service does not label any parent as abusive, alienating, unreasonable, criminal or dishonest, and it does not make factual or legal findings based on one side's account.

When to get a lawyer

Talk to a licensed Georgia family-law attorney if your case is contested, urgent or complicated — for example if there is abuse or a protective order, a DFCS or juvenile-court case, an adoption, another man presumed or claimed to be the legal father, a child living outside Georgia, or a prior legitimation that was denied. When our rules see facts like these, we flag Additional Legal Review Recommended, and you can still use the organizing tools while you get advice. If anyone is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency service.
