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 East Norriton DNA testing technicians are trained to follow these guidelines so that the results will be legally admissible.

Proving Paternity for Child Custody Purposes in East Norriton, PA
If a married couple has a child, paternity does not need to be established. But if an unmarried couple has a child, paternity needs to be established for the child to have a legal father. If an alleged father denies paternity, DNA testing can be used to prove paternity. However, DNA testing for paternity in married couples is generally not allowed in East Norriton, PA.
If paternity testing is ordered, DNA samples will be taken to show the likelihood that the man is the father. Once DNA testing proves paternity, the couple can choose to sign an Acknowledgment of Paternity form to establish paternity. If the alleged father still denies paternity after DNA testing, a court proceeding will begin. If the court determines he is the father, paternity will be established, and the man will be responsible for the cost of DNA testing and court fees.
Experts Say...
Petrelli Previtera, LLC is a family law firm serving East Norriton, PA and Montgomery County. The law firm explains paternity. "Paternity is the legal status that establishes whether or not someone is another person's biological father. Establishing paternity is very important in the eyes of the law when it comes to child support and child custody issues," the law firm said. "There are court proceedings and DNA testing that are both used to establish paternity, and the better they are understood the easier it can be to move through the process."
Petrelli Previtera, LLC continued to explain DNA testing for paternity. "Using a DNA test through an approved laboratory can establish biological paternity," they stated. "A cheek swab can be used, and the DNA of the alleged father and the child can then be compared to one another." The law firm stated that a DNA test generally shows a 99.9 percent probability that the child belongs to the father. "With the DNA proof, parentage can be established for legal purposes."
