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

A Legal Paternity Test is a court admissible lab testing service performed at an AABB accredited laboratory. 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. A legal paternity DNA test will hold up in court for such matters as child support or to change the name on a birth certificate. This test must be performed using strict chain of custody procedures. Our Largo DNA testing technicians are trained to follow these guidelines so that the results will be legally admissible.

Largo, Florida - DNA Testing

Establishing paternity in Largo, Florida

Establishing paternity is important if the child is born to unmarried parents. If there is no doubt about paternity, both parents can sign a Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity (VAP) to legally recognize the man as the child's father. The VAP becomes legally binding after 60 days from signing, with revocation only possible through the presentation of compelling evidence of fraud or force.

If the parents are uncertain about paternity, seeking a court order is commonly the course of action. A judge will usually order a DNA test. From there, the judge can establish child support, custody, and visitation hours. By seeking a court order, parents can ensure that paternity is accurately established and secure the child's legal rights and entitlements.

Regardless of the path taken to establish paternity, a paternity test is a reliable and conclusive way to establish a child's biological father. Paternity tests can provide peace of mind, legal recognition, and the ability to build a stronger relationship with your child.

Largo, Florida: Disestablishment of paternity

In order for a man to disestablish paternity, he must provide proof that he is not the biological father. This requires filing a petition in court and serving it to the child's mother and the Florida Department of Revenue, along with any relevant child support orders. Often, the man must continue to pay child support until the court has disestablished paternity. Disestablishing paternity can be a complex legal process. Many individuals seek guidance from a qualified attorney.

Health Street's legal DNA tests are highly accurate and reliable. With our comprehensive testing options and expert support, you can have confidence in the DNA results and the legal process ahead.
