DNA Test - Oxnard, California

Oxnard CA DNA Testing Locations

Types of DNA Tests at our Oxnard, California 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 Oxnard DNA testing technicians are trained to follow guidelines that ensure that the results can be used for legal purposes.

Oxnard, California - DNA Testing

Establishing Paternity in Oxnard, CA

In the state of California, when a child is born to two Oxnard parents, no additional paternity steps must be taken as state law automatically considers the husband as the biological father. On the other hand, if an Oxnard couple is unmarried at the time of their child's birth, the two will need to properly establish paternity in the state of California for a father to receive paternal rights.

The simplest method for Oxnard parents to establish paternity is through the completion of an Acknowledgment of Paternity. This legally binding document is used to declare the child's biological father, grant him paternal rights, and provide the ability to place his name on the birth certificate. The acknowledgment will be presented for completion at the hospital following a child's birth, but can also be completed at a later date through a Ventura County Child Support Services Office.igating Difficult Paternity Establishments in Oxnard, CA

In certain instances, an Oxnard parent may have a bit of uncertainty over the identity of their child's biological father. Failure to accurately determine paternity prior to the voluntary establishment of paternity could result in legal complications later down the line. Complications can include difficulty removing child support obligations for the child from the previously presumed father.

If either parent has doubts over a child's correct paternity, it's important to seek DNA paternity testing prior to the establishment of paternity. If a parent refuses to complete DNA testing, a petition to establish paternity can be filed through Ventura County Family Court, where a judge can issue a summons to the opposing party to complete DNA testing to establish paternity.

Experts in Oxnard, CA Say…

Once two Oxnard parents have completed DNA testing to properly determine a child's biological father and legally establish paternity, the two may find themselves back in court to establish a child custody agreement. According to Oxnard Family Law Attorney Frederick Seigenfeld, California family courts determine child custody arrangements based on the best interests of the child. A court will assess both parents on various factors, such as drug abuse history, criminal record, and living situations, to develop an agreement that meets a child's needs.
