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.

DNA Paternity Testing in The City of Manhasset, NY
Experts Say...
Nassau County paternity lawyer, Jason M. Barbara and Associates, states, "A child born outside of marriage has no legal father, and the biological father will not have responsibilities unless paternity is established. In some cases, the father of the child may dispute that he is the parent, and only DNA testing ordered by the court will resolve the problem." According to Barbara, if a mother wishes to share parental responsibilities with the father or obtain medical information, paternity must be established.
Proving Paternity for Child Custody Purposes in Manhasset, NY
In Manhasset, NY, paternity must be established if the parents are not married when the child is born. Teen parents and those living in the U.S. that are not citizens must also establish paternity to give the child a legal father.
Paternity can be established if both parents agree to sign a voluntary Acknowledgement of Paternity form. The form is often signed at the hospital when the child is born but can also be signed at any time until the child reaches 21 years of age. The form should not be signed if the parents are not sure who the father is, the parents are married, or the mother is married to someone other than the child's biological father.
If an Acknowledgement of Paternity form is not signed, paternity may be established through the court. If the mother and alleged father are not sure who the father is, DNA testing will be done to determine the child's father. Once DNA testing proves paternity, paternity will still need to be established for the child to have a legal father.
Establishing paternity offers benefits for the mother, father, and child, such as:
