Euless, Texas - DNA Testing
Establishing paternity in Euless, Texas
Paternity means legal fatherhood, and it is an important step in the child's life if the baby is born outside of wedlock. In Euless, Texas, unmarried parents can establish paternity in two ways:
- They can go to court to have the judge legally establish paternity
- They can sign voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity (AOP)
Usually, parents simply sign the AOP at the hospital once the child is born, as the Office of the Attorney General often trains the hospital staff to help parents voluntarily determine paternity. If they do not do it at the hospital, they can sign and file the AOP later by working with an AOP-certified entity. Remember, an AOP is a legally binding document, and parents should only sign it if they are in agreement about paternity.
Parents with disagreements about paternity often go to court to let the judge decide. The court will usually order DNA testing to prove the biological father-child relationship. After establishing legal paternity, the judge can also decide on custody, visitation, or child support if necessary.
Health Street offers reliable DNA testing services in Euless, Texas, with a 99.9% accuracy rate. Our process involves a simple, non-invasive cheek swab for the father and child. Parties can be tested at different times, locations, and even states—wherever and whenever is most convenient.
Euless, Texas: Mistaken Paternity
Under the Texas Legislature, courts can terminate the parent-child relationship if there are circumstances of mistaken paternity. To determine whether there is mistaken paternity, the father must undergo a DNA test. If DNA testing proves that a man is not the biological father, the court may terminate the parent-child relationship and the associated child support obligations. However, the man is responsible for child support payments up until the termination date. Prior to the DNA results, a pretrial hearing is usually held to determine if the man fulfills the legal criteria to proceed with the case.
