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.

Livermore, California - DNA Testing
DNA Test Reunites Livermore Woman with Birth Mother
Livermore resident Kelly Franco had been searching for her birth mother since her teen years but had not had much luck until a DNA test changed everything. After 52 years, she found her biological mother, who had been living in Oklahoma. The two were first introduced during an emotional, tearful phone call and later met in person. Her mother, Dorothy Fenske, had also been searching for her daughter. When asked about the reunion, she said, "I am just tickled to death... I can die in peace now."
California's Presumption of Paternity
When a child is born to married parents, the state of California's "presumption of paternity" applies. According to attorneys at Fishel Law Firm, a family law group serving Livermore and the surrounding area, a mother's husband is assumed to be a child's biological father if they were married at the time of conception. If a couple gets married after conception but before the child is born, the same presumption applies.
An Unmarried Couple's Guide to Establishing Parentage
Unmarried parents can establish paternity (also called parentage) and enjoy the same parental rights that are automatically given to married couples. Attorneys at the Law Offices of C. Lee Hewitt, which serves residents in Livermore and the surrounding area, note that the courts cannot rule on important things like a child's custody, the parent's time-sharing schedule, and child support payments until legal paternity has been established.
In many cases, this can be done by filing paperwork, known as a voluntary acknowledgment of paternity. However, if there is a dispute about the identity of the child's biological father, a DNA paternity test may be ordered. In some cases, a presumption of paternity arises if a man has accepted a child into his home. Consulting with a family law attorney can help all parties involved determine the best option for handling the critical task of legally establishing a child's paternity.
