Paternity Testing Options
Legal Paternity Test
A legal paternity test is a DNA test conducted to legally establish biological paternity – that is, to prove whether or not a man is the biological father of a child.
Purpose: A legal paternity test is carried out primarily for legal purposes such as child support, custody, inheritance, adding or moving a father’s name on a birth certificate, etc. The results are admissible in court as evidence.
Accuracy: Legal paternity tests provide over 99.9% accuracy and higher to determine the probability of paternity between an alleged father and child.
Lab Accreditation: All legal testing we provide are performed by our partner AABB (formerly known as the American Association of Blood Banks) accredited laboratory.
Remember, please consult with a Family Law Attorney regarding in your state regarding paternity establishment laws.
Non-legal Paternity Test
A non-legal paternity test is a peace of mind test that helps to determine if a man is biologically related to a child. The results for this testing option cannot be used for any legal purpose.
