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 Lexington Park DNA testing technicians are trained to follow guidelines that ensure that the results can be used for legal purposes.

Proving Paternity for Child Custody Purposes in Lexington Park, MD

When two parents have a child out of wedlock, they need to establish paternity for the child to have a legal father. Paternity is important for the child to receive certain benefits, financial support, and access to medical histories from both sides of the family.

In Lexington Park, Maryland, paternity can be established in two ways.

If both parents agree about who the biological father of the child is, they can sign an Affidavit of Parentage form, which is a voluntary legal document stating the man is the child’s father. The form should not be signed if there is any doubt, and DNA testing should be requested to determine whether or not the man is the father.

If the parents cannot agree, paternity can be established through a court order. DNA testing will likely be ordered to prove paternity, and the alleged father, mother, and child must all submit DNA samples for testing. If the man still denies paternity, they will go to court and the judge will make the final decision.
