Establishing paternity in Charlotte, NC
Establishing paternity is essential for a child to prosper from the benefits of both parents. After paternity has been established, the child can access the father's medical history and potentially get Social Security, insurance, or military benefits (if applicable).
Based on the law in Charlotte, North Carolina, paternity must be established before a child support order. Fathers can acknowledge paternity by signing a voluntary acknowledgment, or the court can order a DNA test to prove it.
The easiest way of establishing paternity, if both parents agree, is when a child is born at the hospital. However, the father must be present and provide all necessary information so his name can be placed on the Affidavit of Parentage.
If there are any doubts regarding paternity, DNA testing is recommended. The most common method is to swab the inside of the cheek for the father and child, although other legal DNA tests are available if the father can not have his cheek swabbed. The results can then be presented as evidence in the court to establish paternity.
DNA test links sisters who never met but lived close to each other
Jen Frantz was enjoying her vacation when suddenly she got a text message from Janine Dzyubanny saying they might be sisters. Frantz was 43 years old when she found out. Her parents looked nothing like her, so she always knew they were not her biological parents. She was adopted at just one year old, and her birth parents were from South Korea. Thanks to DNA testing, she now knew she had a biological sister.
Janine was adopted when she was just five months old. The sisters decided to take a DNA test to learn more about their medical history, but they never expected to find a sibling! They started to text and realized they had so much more in common. They even found out they lived just half an hour away from each other, even though they grew up in different states.
They decided to meet, and it was a very emotional and happy moment for both of them. Since then, Jen and Janine have met at least once a week and do not want to miss out more than they already have.
