Specimens we can test for DNA

The easiest and most reliable way to obtain a DNA sample for paternity testing is to swab the inner cheeks of the people being tested. These skin cells are known as buccal cells, and they rub off easily onto cotton swabs and remain in place for analysis by our laboratory. Other specimen samples, such as hair follicles, fingernails, and garments that might contain someone’s DNA, can also be tested. An Alternative Specimen DNA Test is done by registering online and shipping the specimens to us.

Legally Admissible DNA Tests vs. “Peace of Mind” At-Home Tests

A Legal Paternity Test is a court admissible DNA testing service. Accurate results for DNA paternity testing with 99.99% confidence or greater take about a week.

When deciding which type of DNA test is right for you, consider first what you might do with the results. In order for the results of a DNA test to hold up in court, for child support, or to change the name on a birth certificate, the test must be done at a clinic using strict chain of custody procedures. Our Broken Arrow DNA testing technicians are trained to follow guidelines that ensure that the results can be used for legal purposes.

Broken Arrow, Oklahoma – DNA Testing

How to Establish Paternity in Broken Arrow

In the state of Oklahoma, if a child is born to unmarried parents and both parents agree about the identity of the child’s father, paternity can easily be established by signing and filing a Voluntary Acknowledgement of Paternity form. This can be done at the hospital when the child is born or at a later date. The form can be obtained from a variety of locations including the Oklahoma State Department of Health, the county health department, or your local child support offices. Many Broken Arrow residents are served by the Tulsa East Child Support Office, which is located at 3666 N. Peoria Tulsa, OK 74106.

If both parents do not agree to voluntarily sign the form, then paternity may need to be established through a court order. In this case, a judge may require a DNA paternity test before issuing an Order of Paternity.

Filing a Paternity Petition Before Birth

Sometimes, situations arise that may leave an unmarried mother wondering whether it’s possible to establish their child’s paternity before birth. According to the Divorce of Tulsa Law Office, which offers family law services in Broken Arrow and the surrounding area, a mother can file a petition to establish paternity at any point in her pregnancy. This creates a basis for the courts to order a DNA test, which will determine whether the man in question is the child’s biological father. During the mother’s pregnancy, paternity paperwork can be filed, “discovery” completed, and DNA testing done. However, paternity rights are not legally established until after the child is born.

Benefits of Establishing Paternity

While establishing a child’s paternity does require a bit of effort, there are many important reasons to do so. According to attorneys at the Bundy Law Office, which serves Tulsa, Broken Arrow, and other surrounding areas, some of the benefits of establishing paternity include:
