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

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

Our Deltona DNA testing technicians are trained to follow guidelines that ensure that the results can be used for legal purposes.

Deltona, Florida - DNA Testing

Establishing Paternity in Deltona, FL

For Deltona parents who are not married at the time of their child's birth, Florida state law can only recognize the mother as a legal guardian and will require both parents to establish paternity to allow the father to obtain parental rights and responsibilities. The easiest way to establish paternity in the state of Florida is by filling out a Paternity Acknowledgment form at the hospital following the child's birth or through the Florida Vital Statistics office location.

Because this method is completely voluntary and must be agreed upon by both parents, a parent who refuses to sign this form will halt the establishment process. In these instances, a parent should instead file a petition to establish paternity through Volusia County family court, where a judge can mandate the opposing parent complete the establishment steps. If DNA testing can verify the paternity claim, parents can move forward with the paternity establishment.

Paternity Programs in Deltona, FL

The state of Florida offers the Putative Father Registry program to preserve the paternal rights of an individual who believes they may have fathered a child. If a Deltona man believes he has fathered a child but has no connection to the mother or child, it's important to submit a Claim of Paternity as soon as possible through the program to avoid any complications.

By submitting this claim, the Deltona man will be notified of legal actions involving the child, such as the event of an adoption. If such instances do occur, the presumed father may be able to complete DNA testing to confirm his position as the child's father and refuse consent to the adoption. He can also move forward with seeking custody of the child if the mother terminates her parental rights.
