Specimens we can test for DNA
The easiest and most reliable way to obtain a DNA sample for paternity testing is to swab the inner cheeks of the alleged father and child or children. These skin cells are known as buccal cells, and they rub off easily onto cotton swabs and remain in place for analysis by our laboratory.
Other specimen samples, such as hair follicles, fingernails, and garments that might contain someone's DNA, can also be tested. An Alternative Specimen DNA Test is done by ordering one of our testing kits online and shipping the specimens back to us.
Legal DNA Tests vs. "Peace of Mind" At-Home Tests
A Legal Paternity Test is a court admissible lab testing service performed at an AABB accredited laboratory. Accurate results for DNA paternity testing with 99.99% confidence or greater take about a week.
When deciding which type of DNA test is right for you, consider first what you might do with the results. A legal paternity DNA test will hold up in court for such matters as child support or to change the name on a birth certificate. This test must be performed using strict chain of custody procedures. Our Beaumont DNA testing technicians are trained to follow these guidelines so that the results will be legally admissible.

Establishing Paternity in Beaumont, TX
Establishing paternity is when a man becomes a child's legal father. Paternity benefits the child, father, and mother. If two parents are not married in Beaumont, TX, a father has no legal rights to his child until the parents establish paternity.Beaumont parents can establish paternity by signing an Acknowledgment of Paternity (AOP) form. The form is voluntary, and both parents must agree on paternity before signing the form. If the parents cannot agree on paternity, they can establish paternity through the court, and the judge may order DNA testing.
Proving Paternity for Child Custody Purposes in Beaumont, TX
When establishing paternity in court, the judge may order DNA testing to determine paternity. DNA testing may be necessary when a mother and the alleged father disagree on paternity or have any doubts about who the biological father is. DNA samples are taken from the mother, the alleged father, and the child for DNA testing. DNA tests can confirm the father with 99 percent accuracy. Once a certified laboratory returns the DNA test results, the paternity order can be finalized.
Experts Say...
Reaud, Morgan & Quinn, L.L.P. are paternity lawyers in Beaumont, TX that say that establishing paternity allows fathers equal rights to the child even if they are not married to the mothers. "Every parent has a right to fair visitation, reasonable child support, and an equitable child custody agreement, whether they are married at the time of birth of the child or not," the law firm says. "As the father of a child, you may have a child you do not know about, a child that is allegedly yours, or a child you know is yours but do not have rights to — all because of paternity issues. Although the mother gives birth, the father still has equal rights to the child."
