Establishing paternity is important for both the child and the parents. A child is entitled to the sense of belonging and identity that comes from knowing both parents. Also, until there is a determination that a biological father is the legal father, the child has no right to receive financial support from the father, to inherit from the father or to obtain insurance, veterans, social security or other benefits through the father. Likewise, until paternity is legally established, the biological father has no legal rights to the child, such as parenting time with the child.
DNA parentage testing is currently the most reliable and advanced scientific method of confirming or disproving biological relationships. The process is preferred and used for personal, medical, or legal reasons.
FAST, EASY, AND PAINLESS - SAMPLE COLLECTION
Collecting samples for DNA analysis is an easy and painless process that can be performed at our office or at the location of your choice. Sterile swabs are rubbed on the inside of the cheek for approximately 30 seconds, placed into an envelope and sent to the lab for analysis.
Unlike older methods, a DNA paternity test can be conducted on individuals at any age, including newborns.
Motherless Testing
In most paternity cases, a sample is collected from the mother, child and alleged father. It is not essential to obtain a DNA sample from the biological mother: however, in a small percentage of cases, not including the mother's sample can lead to inconclusive results; therefore, it is always recommended to include the mother in the test, if she is available. Note: There is an additional fee for mother not tested in the event the initial test should be inconclusive
Legal Paternity Test
_ Samples for a legal test must be collected or witnessed by a neutral third party such as a laboratory, doctor, or clinic. The third party collector will use proper Chain of Custody; a documentation process used to ensure the test results are legally admissible.
When your samples are collected for a legal test you will be required to show government issued photo ID. In addition, a photograph of all test participants will be taken and in some cases fingerprints.
