What is paternity testing and what is its purpose?
Paternity testing is a medical procedure that is used to identify the parents of a child, usually the father. Where there is some question regarding the identity of the child’s father, DNA testing will prove parentage with 99.99% accuracy. This is more than sufficient for the court to make a finding of paternity.
The procedure is simple and inexpensive. The parties appear at the testing facility with photo identification and some cells are gathered from the inside of each person’s cheek with a cotton swab. This material is then sent off to a laboratory and results are usually available within a few days.
