Highly Recommended Prenatal Paternity Test
I had the prenatal paternity test done. It did take three blood draws but I did get the results as promised and on time. Queava I can not speak highly enough about!!! She was so amazing through these past couple of weeks and was understanding of the situation from the beginning. I could not have asked for a better person to help me in determining the paternity of my child. I would absolutely recommend using their service this has been such a relief for me and my boyfriend

DNA Test - Mobile, Alabama

Mobile AL DNA Testing Locations

Types of DNA Tests at our Mobile, Alabama locations:

The most commonly ordered DNA test is a Paternity Test to 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:

account_box
Grandparent DNA Test (if the father is not available for testing)
account_box
Sibling DNA Test (possible brothers, sisters, or half-siblings)
account_box
Avuncular DNA Test (aunt/uncle and niece/nephew)

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

Mobile, Alabama - DNA Testing

Establishing Paternity in Mobile, AL

Under Alabama law, when two Mobile parents are married at the time of their child's birth, nothing is required to legally establish paternity. This is because it is presumed that the husband is the child's biological father. However, Mobile parents who are not married at the time of birth will need to take the necessary steps to establish legal paternity.

As long as both parents agree to and have full confidence in a child's paternity, the simplest way to establish it is by completing a Petition to Establish Paternity. This legally binding document declares the child's biological father and grants him paternal rights over his child. If there is any sort of doubt about a child's paternity, be sure to conduct DNA paternity testing before signing the establishment.

Assistance Establishing Paternity in Mobile, AL

Not always will a presumed parent be willing to establish paternity for reasons such as paternity denial. In the event that a parent cannot get the other parent to agree to establish paternity, he or she will need to file a petition to establish paternity with Mobile County Family Court. This method allows a judge to summon the opposing parent to complete the necessary establishment steps.

In most cases, a Mobile judge will first request that the presumed father complete DNA paternity testing to accurately identify the child's biological father. If the father is identified, the court can then move forward with the establishment process, as well as any needed child custody or child support agreements.

Experts in Mobile, AL Say…

As previously mentioned, following the paternity establishment process, two parents can also move forward with a child support payment request. According to Mobile Family Law Attorney Alison Baxter Herlihy, Alabama law requires the noncustodial parent to be held responsible for paying the other parent who has sole or primary physical custody of the child or children.

This law enables whoever has the child living with them in their home full-time to receive a monthly amount to help cover expenses. A monthly child support amount will be calculated by the courts using factors such as income and pre-existing children.
