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 Wellington DNA testing technicians are trained to follow these guidelines so that the results will be legally admissible.

Establishing paternity in Wellington, FL
Unmarried parents from Wellington should consider establishing paternity. There are two ways of establishing paternity—voluntarily or involuntarily.
The easiest way of determining paternity is by signing the voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity at the hospital right after the baby is born. This legally binding document allows the father's name to be added to the birth certificate, so it's important to be certain about the father's identity before signing.
Another way of establishing paternity is by going to court. Usually, parents choose this option when they disagree about paternity or have doubts. Going to court often means the judge will order the alleged father and the child to take a DNA test. DNA testing is an easy way of proving paternity, with a fast turnaround time.
In Wellington, Florida, Health Street offers DNA testing services that are admissible in court. Our tests are 99.9% accurate and involve a simple cheek swab, making the process quick and non-invasive.
Wellington, Florida: Benefits of establishing paternity
Establishing paternity can benefit both parents and the child. Parents can share the responsibilities, such as financially supporting the child, making important decisions about their upbringing, and building relationships with the child. Establishing paternity can also secure rights for the parents, such as custody or visitation.
For the child, it also means they will be more likely able to build relationships with both parents. The child may also gain access to benefits from the father that would not otherwise be available, such as health insurance, knowing the medical history of both sides of the family, and inheritance.
