More details to this question:
After hiring a private investigator and talking and spending time with my ex girlfriend there has been no solid evidence except her claims that she had a child however I can't not prove it 100%. Should I hire a lawyer to file a petition for legitimation or a writ of habeas corpus or should I pay the big money for a lawyer and have them do what they think is best.

A petition to legitimate is usually where there is a known child. You may want to consider looking up the Putative Father Registry through the state of GA. That will let you put your name in a state list for possible fathers, in case of an adoption or juvenile court proceeding ever takes place. Consider hiring a lawyer for further advice, especially if there's more evidence of a child.
