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

Tannersville, PA - DNA Testing
Experts Say...
Lento Law Firm is a Pennsylvania Family Law firm that serves Tannersville, PA and Monroe County. The firm explained DNA testing for paternity. "At times, families may need to seek out the establishment of paternity through the court. In these cases, sometimes parents may need to file a complaint for paternity in court."
In Tannersville, PA, the court will often order DNA testing for paternity. Lento Law Firm said, "These tests can take a few weeks, however, they can provide actual, physical evidence to show paternity in a case. A majority of the time, the tests use a non-invasive cheek swab method. Once biological paternity is established, then future custody and support proceedings will be able to move forward."
Proving Paternity for Child Custody Purposes in Tannersville, PA
DNA testing is used to prove if a man is the child's biological father but does not give the child a legal father. A man does not have to be the biological father to become the legal father. For the child to have a legal father, the parents must establish paternity.
Paternity can be established both voluntarily and involuntarily. If both parents agree about who the biological father is and agree the man should be the legal father, they can sign an Acknowledgment of Paternity form and avoid going to court. If they do not agree, they can request that the court issue an Order of Paternity. Once the order is issued, the alleged father can accept or deny the claim. The court may order DNA testing to prove paternity.
DNA testing may also be requested by a man if he believes he is the father but is being denied custody.
Establishing paternity is important for custody orders, visitation rights, and child support orders. It also gives the child access to medical records, family history, inheritance, military benefits, health insurance, social security, and other benefits.
