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.

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

El Monte, California – DNA Testing

Establishing paternity in El Monte, California

There is no question about parentage if parents are married; the husband is automatically considered the legal father. However, if parents are not married, they must establish paternity. Otherwise, the father does not have the same responsibilities and rights as the mother. In El Monte, California, if parents have zero doubts about who the biological father is, they can voluntarily sign the Declaration of Parentage at the hospital when the baby is born.

If there are doubts about paternity, and either the mother or the alleged father is unsure about the birth father, parents often choose to go to court. The judge will usually order DNA testing of the alleged father and the child, proving paternity. Once paternity is established, the judge can establish child support, visitation hours, and custody.

El Monte, California: Challenging paternity

Sometimes, a man is told he is the child’s father, but he does not agree or is unsure. He has every right to do a DNA test to determine paternity. A DNA test is usually done by a simple cheek swab of the alleged father and the child, and then the DNA specimens are examined for genetic markers that could indicate a relationship between the father and the child. It is important to note that at-home DNA tests are not usually admissible evidence in a court of law.

Sometimes, a man signs the declaration of paternity and realizes later that he is not the father, or he starts to have doubts. In that case, he will need to go to court, and the court will likely order DNA testing to determine if he is the biological father. However, family law is very complicated and the judge usually tries to make the best decision for the child. It is important to act quickly if there are doubts about paternity, and many people seek help from a family lawyer.
