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

Lenexa, KS - DNA Testing
How to Establish Paternity in Lenexa, KS
In the state of Kansas, when a child is born to parents who are not married and the mother was not married within 300 days prior to the child's birth, there is no presumption of paternity. This means that the child does not have a legal father until steps are taken to establish paternity. According to experts at the Jeffers Law Office, which serves clients in Lenexa and the surrounding area, in this case, paternity can be established voluntarily or through the courts.
The easiest option is for both parents to sign a Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity form. However, if there is a dispute about the identity of the child's biological father, the courts may need to get involved. The child, the child's mother, the alleged father, or a local prosecutor or government official can bring a paternity action. When this occurs, the case is heard in the district court where the child, mother, or alleged father lives.
Benefits of Establishing Paternity
There are several important reasons to go through the effort of establishing a child's legal paternity. The Henry Law Firm, which provides services to clients in the Lenexa area, explains how each party benefits after legal paternity has been established:
The Role of DNA Testing in Paternity Cases
In some cases, DNA testing is required to prove the identity of a child's biological father. According to Kansas paternity attorneys at Vinton More Attorneys at Law, which serves clients in Lenexa and the surrounding area, a man may request a DNA test to prove he is a child's biological father so he can establish legal paternity and seek parental rights. Alternatively, a man may want a DNA test to prove that he is not the child's biological father. When the test is completed early enough, this may help him avoid being ordered to pay child support.
