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.

Paternity Programs in Moreno Valley, CA

Establishing paternity is a legal process that is necessary when two parents are unmarried. The declaration will be used to establish the legal father and grant his paternal rights and responsibilities. Through the Riverside County Parentage Opportunity Program (POP), unmarried Moreno Valley parents have an easy way of establishing paternity in the state of California.

All hospitals, clinics, and birthing centers must provide unmarried parents with the opportunity to establish paternity following a child's birth through the Parentage Opportunity Program. The establishment can be completed if both Moreno Valley parents sign a Declaration of Paternity and submit it to the California Office of Vital Records.

Importance of Seeking DNA Testing Services in Moreno Valley, CA

Establishing paternity is extremely beneficial to both parents and their child, as it allows either parent to seek monthly child support and for their child to receive benefits like health insurance from either parent. However, in cases where there is any doubt in the given paternity claim, it's crucial that both parents first seek DNA testing before establishing paternity.

As legal protection for both parents, ensuring complete accuracy of the child's biological father ensures smooth sailing later in the child's life. If a parent fails to use DNA testing and learns at a later date that the presumed father is not the biological one, the parents can face difficulty in court when removing child support obligations and rescinding the paternity acknowledgment.

Assistance Establishing Paternity in Moreno Valley, CA

In certain unfortunate circumstances, a parent may refuse to establish paternity and prevent a parent from seeking monthly assistance or child custody. In cases where one parent denies a paternity claim, the other will need to establish paternity with the help of the Riverside County Court System.

By filing a petition to establish paternity in Riverside County Family Court, a judge can request that the presumed father undergo DNA testing for establishment purposes. If the father is identified via the DNA test, the judge can then establish paternity for the Moreno Valley parents.
