Types of DNA Tests at our Milpitas, California locations:

conclusively establish whether or not a man is the biological father of a
child.
Paternity Testing
can be performed at our testing centers. DNA Testing can be done for other
close family relationships, such as:
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 Milpitas DNA testing technicians are
trained to follow guidelines that ensure that the results can be used for
legal purposes.

Milpitas, CA - DNA Testing
Experts Say...
"If you know who your child's father is, but you have not put it in writing and obtained an official judgment of paternity, the child will not be entitled to the father's Social Security benefits and will not have inheritance rights in the father's estate," said Sandra J. McManus, paternity attorney serving Milpitas. "Even if the father's name is on the child's birth certificate, it is very important to get an official judgment of paternity so that the child can get the necessary benefits if something happens to his or her father." McManus also said parents cannot receive child support, visitation, and custody orders from the court without legally establishing paternity.
Establishing Paternity in Milpitas, CA
Establishing paternity means determining the child's legal father. In Milpitas, unmarried parents that have a child must establish paternity for the child to have a legal father. Once paternity is established, the father has parental responsibilities, like financial obligations, and also obtains rights to visitation and custody. If both parents agree on the child's biological father, they can establish paternity by signing a Voluntary Declaration of Parentage form. The form can be signed at the hospital when the baby is born or at a later time. After signing the form, the father's name can be added to the birth certificate. If the mother and alleged father cannot agree on paternity, they can go to court.
Proving Paternity for Child Custody Purposes in Milpitas, CA
If signing a voluntary paternity form, parents wave their rights to DNA testing. The form should not be signed unless both parents are certain the man is the child's father. DNA testing can be used to determine paternity before signing the form. If establishing paternity in court, the judge will order DNA testing to prove paternity if the alleged father denies that he's the biological father.
