Legal Paternity Test
This is our highly recommended test. If the child is under 18, it is strongly recommended that you choose this option. Results can be used in court to support any legal purpose, including: amending a birth certificate, child support orders, etc.
Has the alleged father recently died?
- We can use a FTA blood card sample or DNA sample from the deceased. The sample is usually collected by the coroner or funeral home director. There is an additional fee for using a FTA blood sample card or DNA sample from a deceased individual. The results to this test may be used for legal purposes, such as SSI or survivor benefits.
- If the alleged father is incarcerated or has been deceased for a long time (body is not accessible) but at least one of his parents are alive and available for testing, then a Grandparentage DNA Test is the best option. Paternity can be legally determined if grand paternity is proven.
Non-Legal Peace of Mind Paternity Test
If you just want to know the truth and you do not need a paternity test that is court admissible, then this is the best option for you
What if I don’t want the alleged father to know about the test, or he refuses to come in for the test?
If you have a toothbrush, eating utensils, toothpick or finger/toe nails from the alleged father, we can use those items to test for DNA. Please call us at 888-652-3949 ext 4 to get pricing and directions on how to preserve the items for shipping to the lab.
