Paternity Issues
Paternity testing is a major US industry. Between 1970 and 1996, the number of divorced persons has more than quadrupled, from 4.3 million to 18.3 million according to a 1998 report by the Commerce Department's
Census Bureau. Hundreds of thousands of paternity tests are performed each year.
Overview of Paternity Testing: DNA paternity testing has become inexpensive and conclusive. Due to technological advances, a DNA paternity test can now be completed within a few days and the samples can be taken in the privacy of your own home. DNA samples are no longer normally obtained by blood samples, but by buccal swabs of the cheek cells in your mouth. This method can be accomplished on anyone regardless of age.
What is DNA Testing?: DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material in the cells of your body. By comparing the DNA profiles of the mother, father, and child, one can determine the genetic relatedness of a group of individuals.
What Makes A DNA Test Court Admissible?: The difference between results being court admissible or not court admissible is based upon the properly documented chain of custody. Home DNA test kits are normally not court admissible because the DNA samples cannot be verified.
Choosing a Paternity Testing Company: DNA testing is becoming popular and common due to the current ease, availability, and cost. Here are a few simple guidelines to remember before you establish a relationship with DNA
testing company.
What Happens at the Sample Collection?: For court admissible testing, there is a nationwide network of individuals licensed and experienced in the collection of legal DNA samples.
Paternity Testing Applications:
The Paternity Test Results: Results are presented by a signed and notarized laboratory report. The results will either state that the alleged father is excluded from being the father or it will provide a probability of paternity relationship as a percentage equal to or greater than 99%. See this section for a sample inclusion (is the father) and exclusion (is not the father) report.
Child Support Articles: These articles have been written and provided by Divorce Source Professionals. Some of them may be rather long, so remember you can always print them and read the off-line another time.
