No. A08A0207.

665 S.E.2d 36 (2008)

BINNS v. FAIRNOT.

Court of Appeals of Georgia.

June 27, 2008.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John E. Pirkle, Hinesville, for appellant.

Dubberly & McGovern, B. Daniel Dubberly III, Glennville, for appellee.

RUFFIN, Presiding Judge.

Lennox Binns filed a petition to legitimate his child and seeking visitation rights. The child's mother, Malinda Fairnot, objected to legitimation.1 The trial court denied the petition, finding that the father abandoned his opportunity interest to develop a relationship with the child. We granted Binns' application for discretionary appeal and, for reasons that follow, reverse and remand.
