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 alleged father and child or children. 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 ordering one of our testing kits online and shipping the specimens back to us.
Legal DNA Tests vs. "Peace of Mind" At-Home Tests

Our Enterprise DNA testing technicians are trained to follow these guidelines so that the results will be legally admissible.

Proving Paternity for Child Custody Purposes in Enterprise and Coffee County, AL
With the population of Enterprise growing every year, officials in local Coffee County and throughout the state are busy, making sure that children born in Enterprise all have access to the benefits of full parental support.
If the parents are married when the child is born, the woman's husband is automatically added to the birth certificate as the child's father. However, if the parents are not married at the time of the child's birth, the father can choose to sign an Acknowledgement of Paternity at the hospital, or at an Alabama Department of Human Resources Office location. If the child's alleged father does not admit paternity, the "state must begin a court action."
According to the Child Support Guide to Services in Alabama, "When the case goes to trial, the mother may be required to be present in court to testify about the father. In addition, the mother, the child, and the alleged father may need to take genetic tests to help the court determine paternity."
Local Experts Discuss Paternity in Enterprise
Although the mother's testimony does carry some weight, ultimately a genetic test is the best way to determine with almost 100% accuracy the paternity of the child in question.
According to local law firm Boles Holmes Parkman White LLC, "From the child's perspective, paternity is important because it establishes who the parents are for purposes of monthly child support obligations, health insurance, and social security benefits to which the child is entitled."
This is why getting a DNA test for paternity purposes is so critical – it establishes answers to these obligations without a doubt.
