Types of DNA Tests at our Springfield, Oregon locations:

conclusively establish whether or not a man is the biological father of a
child.

close family relationships, such as:
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 Springfield DNA testing technicians are
trained to follow guidelines that ensure that the results can be used for
legal purposes.

Springfield, Oregon - DNA Testing
Establishing paternity in Springfield, OR
When parents are unmarried, they must establish paternity; otherwise, they and their child can miss out on multiple benefits. In Springfield, there are two main ways to establish paternity:
Voluntary Acknowledgment: One of the primary methods is signing the Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity, often done at the hospital after the child's birth. It's important for fathers to be sure of their paternity before signing, as this document holds significant weight. It makes the father's name official on the birth certificate, and he takes on the legal rights and duties towards the child.
Court: Should there be disagreements or doubts, the court can decide on paternity. In such cases, DNA testing might be a step to confirm the biological connection between the father and the child.
Health Street's DNA testing services in Springfield, Oregon, can help parents easily establish paternity. Our tests are 99.9% accurate, quick, and non-invasive.
Springfield, Oregon: Benefits of establishing paternity
Both parents can benefit from establishing paternity. For the mother, it can enable financial support and shared decision making for the child's wellbeing. For the father, it can grant some legal rights, which can include custody and visitation rights, and enable him to build a relationship with the child. If the mother were to consider giving up the child for adoption, the father would have to agree.
The child can also benefit from establishing paternity in Springfield. For example:
