An Alternative Specimen DNA Test is done by registering online and shipping the specimens to us.

Proving Paternity for Child Custody Purposes in Wilson, NC
Establishing paternity is the process of giving a child a legal father. In Wilson, NC, a child born to unmarried parents does not have a legal father until paternity is established. Paternity may be established by signing an Affidavit of Parentage or by a court proceeding. Many paternity cases are settled before going to court by using DNA testing. If the case goes to trial, the judge may order DNA testing, and the mother, alleged father, and child must submit DNA samples. In Wilson, NC, if the DNA test shows at least a 97 percent probability that a man is the child's father, paternity will be established through the court.
Experts Say...
Dummit Fradin, North Carolina Attorneys at Law, says, "Many times we've encountered fathers that are worried they don't have rights to their child if they're not on the birth certificate. This is not true. Even if you're not on the birth certificate, you still have just as much right to your child as the mother." If paternity is questioned at any point, the law firm recommends DNA testing. According to the law firm, once a father receives child custody orders, his name can be added to the birth certificate. "In North Carolina, there is no presumption as to which parent is more fit. Both parents are deemed to be fit and capable of caring for their children. Child custody is determined based on the best interests of the children."
