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 ordering one of our testing kits online and shipping the specimens back to us.

Establishing paternity in Rochester Hills, MI
Unmarried parents from Rochester Hills, Michigan, have three options for establishing paternity. If there are no doubts about the birth father, they can choose to sign the Affidavit of Parentage form, a voluntary agreement to legally acknowledge paternity.
Sometimes, parents may disagree or be unsure about paternity. If this is the case, they often go to court and ask the judge to establish paternity. The court process will usually involve a paternity test for the alleged father and child. The DNA test is a quick, painless, and reliable method of proving paternity, usually done as a cheek swab. The DNA specimens are then sent to the laboratory. If the man is confirmed to be the biological father of the child, the judge may consider this information in the legal paternity decision. If paternity has been established, then the judge can also determine custody, child support, or visitation hours if necessary.
