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 alleged father and child or children. 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 ordering one of our testing kits online and shipping the specimens back to us.

Legal DNA Tests vs. “Peace of Mind” At-Home Tests

A Legal Paternity Test is a court admissible lab testing service performed at an AABB accredited laboratory. 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. A legal paternity DNA test will hold up in court for such matters as child support or to change the name on a birth certificate. This test must be performed using strict chain of custody procedures. Our Speedway DNA testing technicians are trained to follow these guidelines so that the results will be legally admissible.

Paternity Testing in Speedway, Indiana

In the state of Indiana, it is automatically assumed that a man is a child’s father if he is married to the mother when the child is born or within 300 days before ending the marriage.

In other cases, paternity may be established in two ways:

Paternity affidavit. This is a legal document that declares a man the child’s biological father, allowing for parental rights without a court order. This can be done at the hospital when the child is born or at the health department before the child is emancipated. A paternity affidavit allows the father to have his name on the birth certificate. As part of Wayne Township in Marion County, Speedway residents can contact their local office of the Indiana Department Child Support, which is located in Indianapolis.

Both parents need to sign a paternity affidavit and must be given information about their rights, responsibilities, and alternative options. You are also allowed to sign the document even if you’re married to someone else. If a woman knowingly determines a man is the father and he is not, she commits a Class A misdemeanor.

If you’re unsure that you’re the biological father, you have the right to genetic testing. This document is legally binding and once it’s complete there is no need for further court action.

Court order. You can file for paternity in an Indiana court and a hearing date will be given to both parents. Paternity may be agreed upon without genetic testing, but genetic testing may also be requested to prove paternity. The court may request DNA testing and the hearing will be put on hold while awaiting results.

Experts Say…

According to Wheeler Law Firm, LLC in Indianapolis, IN, “The parent-child relationship is one of the more significant ones in society. After all, if you have a child, you have a solemn responsibility to provide care, coaching and love. You may also have a legal obligation to pay for the child’s everyday needs.  In simple terms, paternity equates to fatherhood.”
