A paternity test is a way to determine
the biological father of a child. It is a genetic test that compares
many different genetic factors in the alleged father's sample with
similar genetic factors in the samples of the child and mother. |
|
|
Genetic tests have a 99 percent or greater accuracy
rate in identifying the probable father. If the alleged father goes
to court to say he isn't the father, but experts testify that his
genetic tests show that 99 percent or more of his genetic factors
match the child's genetic factors, the court will find that he is
the father of the child until evidence to the contrary is presented
to the court. |

|
You do not need a doctor's order to have a Paternity Test. |
|
|
Samples are taken from the donor in two basic ways- by drawing
a blood sample or more commonly, by using a swab, (much like a Q-tip),
to scrape off a few cells from inside the mouth. |
|
|
The swab is a simple, painless way to collect cells from the cheeks
inside the mouth. The DNA in the cells is then analyzed to see if
the alleged father's DNA matches the child's DNA. |
|
|
A person acquires all of his/her DNA at the time of conception.
This DNA remains the same throughout lifetime. Therefore, the accuracy
of the DNA parentage test is the same throughout lifetime. Highly
accurate DNA test results may be obtained before birth |
|
|
Testing can be performed if one of the parties resides in another
city or state. |
|
|
Results can be available in as little as 48 hours. |
|
|
The samples do not have to be drawn at the same time. |
|
| . |
Affidavits, depositions and expert witness testimonies are always
available with all paternity testing. |
