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 ordering one of our testing kits online and shipping the specimens back to us.

Edison, New Jersey: DNA Testing
Establishing paternity in Edison, New Jersey
Unmarried New Jersey parents can easily establish paternity by signing and completing a Certificate of Parentage, which they can do together with a certificate coordinator at the hospital once the child is born. If both parents are not present at the time of birth, it is also possible to sign this document at the local registrar's office later. Upon request, the father's name will be added to the child's birth certificate upon request.
Sometimes, parents are unsure or disagree about paternity. In these cases, either parent can file a paternity action in the New Jersey Family Court. The alleged father and the child will likely be ordered to take a DNA test to determine their relationship. The DNA test results may influence the judge's decision, but may not be the only factor considered. After the judge has declared a legal father, the father can have legal rights and responsibilities towards the child. Without legal paternity, the father would have no right to gain custody or visitation hours.
