We offer two primary categories of paternity testing depending on your needs:

• Legal Paternity Test: This is our most recommended option, especially if the child is a minor (under 18). These results are admissible in court and can be used for legal matters such as child support hearings, amending birth certificates, or immigration.
• “Peace of Mind” Test: If you strictly want to know the truth for personal reasons and do not intend to use the results in a court of law, this is the most cost-effective solution.

Yes. There are a few ways to handle this situation:

• Recent Passing: We can utilize a DNA sample or an FTA blood card from the deceased. These samples are typically collected by a funeral home director or coroner. Please note that using these non-standard samples involves an additional fee. These results can often be used for Social Security or survivor benefit claims.
• Unavailable/Long-term Deceased: If the father’s DNA is not accessible, but his parents are alive, we highly recommend a Grandparentage DNA Test. If we can prove the grandparents are related to the child, paternity can be legally established.

Yes. If the alleged father is unwilling to submit to a swab or you wish to test discreetly, we can attempt to extract DNA from personal items. Common items include a toothbrush, fingernail clippings, ear swabs, or eating utensils.
