DNA Paternity Testing

Frequently Asked Questions

Paternity testing is performed to find out if the man is the biological father of the child. Paternity testing can be performed to have an impact on child support, child custody, insurance and inheritance claims, visitation rights and adoption and immigration.

Paternity testing is performed by taking samples from the mother, child and the alleged father are sent to the lab for testing. Each person needs to bring identification and each person will be photographed for part of the identification procedure. The procedure is done by inserting a swab into each person’s mouth and swabbing inside of the cheek. The paternity test is identified by genetic markers that is passed down by the biological parents. The lab determines which genetic markers the mother has passed down to the child. Then the remaining markers will have been passed down by the biological father. It is very important to have the mother involved in the process because without the mother it gives less informative results.
