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

When deciding which type of DNA test is right for you, consider first what you might do with the results.

Establishing paternity in Coon Rapids, MN
In Coon Rapids, Minnesota, unmarried parents have several options to establish paternity and ensure legal recognition of the father-child relationship.
If both parents agree on the biological father, they can sign the Recognition of Parentage form. This voluntary agreement establishes the man as the legal father. It is essential to file the form with the Minnesota Department of Health to ensure its legal validity.
In cases where there are doubts or disagreements about paternity, seeking involvement from the court may be necessary. The court may order a DNA test to conclusively determine paternity. This process typically involves a quick and painless cheek swab, providing accurate and reliable results. If paternity is established, the court can establish legal paternity, granting the father associated rights and responsibilities.
Coon Rapids, Minnesota: Benefits of establishing paternity
Establishing paternity in Coon Rapids, Minnesota brings numerous benefits for both the father and the child. For the father, establishing paternity can mean gaining legal rights, such as seeking custody or visitation arrangements through the court system. It can provide an opportunity for active involvement in important decisions regarding the child's upbringing, fostering a strong parent-child bond.
Legal recognition of the father can provide emotional security for the child, as they have the opportunity to develop a relationship with both parents. Additionally, establishing paternity can allow access to paternal medical history, which can be crucial for the child's health and well-being.
Establishing paternity can create a foundation for financial support. The legal father might be responsible for child support, ensuring the child's well-being, and providing necessary financial resources for their upbringing. This support can contribute to the child's overall stability and allows them to access essential resources for their growth and development. A legally recognized father can enable the child to potentially access benefits such as health insurance, Social Security, and inheritance rights. These benefits provide additional support and security for the child's future.
