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 Stillwater DNA testing technicians are trained to follow guidelines that ensure that the results can be used for legal purposes.

Stillwater, OK - DNA Testing

Experts Say...

Campbell Law Office in Stillwater explains why it's important to determine paternity. "Even if you do not have a loving relationship with the other parent, it is important to work together to make decisions that will be in the best interests of the child," the law office said. "You can also work to create a custody and visitation schedule that will benefit both you and your child. Many studies have stated the benefits of children having a relationship with both parents during their developmental years."

Establishing Paternity in Stillwater, OK

In Stillwater, when a married woman has a child, her husband becomes the child's legal father. However, unmarried parents need to establish paternity for the biological father to become the legal father. If both parents agree on paternity, they can sign an Acknowledgment of Paternity form. Completing the voluntary form legally recognizes the man as the child's father. Neither parent should sign the form if either one is unsure of the child's biological father. In this case, they should use DNA testing. Once paternity is established, the parents can set up a visitation agreement or the father can seek visitation rights.

Proving Paternity for Child Custody Purposes in Stillwater, OK

If either parent questions or disputes paternity, DNA tests are used to determine the child's biological father. DNA samples are obtained by swabbing for DNA samples on the inside of the cheek. Samples are sent to a lab for analysis, and the results usually take about 4-6 weeks. DNA test results can show up to a 99.9% probability that a man is the child's father. In Stillwater, the judge will determine a man as the father with DNA test results of at least a 99% probability. Blood samples are taken in rare cases.
