A Look At Legal Paternity Testing

By Lora Jones


Legal paternity testing is a test that is conducted to determine who is the childs biological father. There are times when the identity of the father may not be clear because of the circumstances and this can create a lot of issues. With an accurate test, you can finally have confirmation.

The test is done by taking dna samples from both parent and child. DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is unique and contains genetic information. If there are enough markers between the two samples, then they can be considered a match and in effect, the male is indeed the father. The test is supposed to be highly accurate.

To do the test, one would need to obtain a kit. Once samples have been obtained, you can send it to the lab which will then process the samples. The kit is not expensive. Aside from paying for the kit, there are fees that have to be paid for the processing. Take the time to check what the rates are at several facilities.

It will be up to you to decide what kind of test should be conducted. Sometimes, people just want to conduct a test for their own peace of mind. Others however use the results for court cases. If the results are going to be used in such an event, then steps will be taken to ensure the integrity of the samples.

Since the test will be scrutinized in court and paperwork will have to be provided, it will be more costly. This does not mean however that home tests will have less accuracy. The laboratory will treat the samples in the same manner.

The test is useful for a variety of cases. For example, it can be a piece of evidence when someone is applying for adoption or if someone stands to inherit money or properties. It may be needed to determine who is responsible for supporting the child. If the test has to be used in any of these cases, then you should then you should start looking for qualified facilities in your area.

If the test results have to stand in court, then there should be someone authorized to witness the sampling. The individuals who are tested have to show proof of their identity. The samples will be monitored closely to ensure that it reaches the facility with no tampering. Processing will then begin and the results will be released thereafter.

The test can be done in either at home or at the facility and stricter measures will be enforced. It can take two days or more to get the results, depending on the center you have chosen. Considerations have to be made if for example the child and the supposed father are not living in the same area. The schedule for taking those samples will also be up to you.

Legal paternity testing is a way of verifying who is the biological father. Dna samples will be taken from the parties involved. The results are highly accurate. When one needs to use this information in court, a strict procedure is in place to ensure no tampering. This will be more costly compared to tests that do not need to be admissible in courts.
