The easiest and most reliable way to obtain a DNA sample for paternity testing is to swab the inner cheeks of the people being tested. 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 registering online and shipping the specimens to us.

Experts Say...
Blasser Law, serving City of Industry, CA and Los Angeles County, explains the process of establishing paternity in the state of California. The law firm says a legal relationship with the child is important for many reasons including the right to health insurance, the right to make medical decisions, and obligations regarding child support and child care. "When a mother gives birth to a child," the law firm said, "she is automatically recognized as the child's legal mother. Fathers may have to jump through additional legal hoops to establish legal paternity."
According to Blasser Law, when a couple that has a child is married, paternity is assumed and the husband is automatically the child's legal father. "The husband will be conclusively established as the child's legal father unless some party contests the parentage within two years of the child's birth."
They explain that if a couple is not married when the child is born, additional steps must be taken to establish paternity. "If both parents agree as to the identity of the father, the parents can sign and file a Voluntary Declaration of Parentage form...If either parent contests the genetic parentage of the putative father, then the parties can go to court to establish paternity."

California courts will only allow private DNA testing in evidence if DNA testing was ordered by the court.
