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. In order for the results of a DNA test to hold up in court, for child support, or to change the name on a birth certificate, the test must be done at a clinic using strict chain of custody procedures. Our Lansing DNA testing technicians are trained to follow guidelines that ensure that the results can be used for legal purposes.

Experts Say...
The Henry Law Firm, serving Lansing, KS, explains what it means to establish paternity. "Paternity is the legal status that confers upon a man the rights and responsibilities of a father," the law firm explained. "When a couple is married, the law presumes the husband is the father of all children born during the marriage. But when a couple is not married, there is no such presumption. Legal steps are necessary before a man can be held accountable for a child or enjoy any of the benefits of fatherhood." The law firm said unmarried parents can establish paternity voluntarily or by a paternity action. "Most often, a paternity action is a precursor to a mother's petition for child support and/or a father's petition for visitation rights. Since a finding of paternity imposes the legal status of a father on a man, it also establishes the legal grounds for those responsibilities and privileges."
Establishing Paternity in Lansing, KS
Establishing paternity allows mothers to seek child support and fathers to request parenting time. Children benefit the most from having a legal father. Once paternity is established, children receive financial support from both parents, access to medical information from both families, the right to inheritance, and other available benefits. The easiest way to establish paternity in Lansing is by signing an Acknowledgment of Paternity, a voluntary form stating the child's legal father. If the parents cannot agree to sign a paternity acknowledgment, they can establish paternity with a court order. For help establishing paternity, Lansing parents can contact the Leavenworth County Child Support Services Office, located at 515 Limit Suite 100 in Leavenworth.
Proving Paternity for Child Custody Purposes in Lansing, KS
If either parent is unsure of the child's biological father, they should not sign an Acknowledgment of Paternity until they take a DNA test to prove paternity. The judge may also require DNA testing if establishing paternity in court. DNA testing accurately determines whether a man is the child's biological father. DNA test samples are taken by swabbing the inside of the child's and alleged father's cheek and then analyzed in a certified lab.
