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.

Lawton, Oklahoma - DNA Testing

Establishing paternity in Lawton, Oklahoma

Unmarried Lawton parents should consider establishing paternity if they have a child together. In Oklahoma, parents can establish paternity by signing a Voluntary Acknowledgement of Paternity (VAP) or through the court, which usually involves DNA testing. DNA testing usually means taking a painless cheek swab, which contains DNA, from both the child and the alleged father. The DNA specimens are sent to a lab, where experts use genetic markers for a comprehensive analysis. When the court is involved, the judge often orders a DNA test, and the results may be used to determine paternity.

However, if parents have no doubts about the biological father, going to court is unnecessary. If they agree about paternity, they can sign the VAP at the hospital once the baby is born. Hospital staff will know what to do and can help the parents with the process.

Lawton, Oklahoma: Challenging paternity

A father who wants to challenge Oklahoma paternity can do so before the child turns two years old. If paternity was established fraudulently, the father can challenge paternity before the child turns eighteen. However, fraudulent paternity cases may be difficult to prove, and paternity is rarely challenged after the child's second birthday.

Sometimes, a Lawton father decides to deny paternity. It could be easy to move forward with denying paternity if the father has been proven a victim of adultery or fraud. If paternity is successfully denied, the father will no longer have any responsibilities or rights toward the child. However, challenging or denying paternity is a tough decision that can affect the whole family, especially if the alleged father has been raising the child as his own for many years. In these cases, men usually seek a lawyer to guide them through their options.
