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

Menifee, California - DNA Testing
Establishing paternity in Menifee, CA
Unmarried parents from Menifee, California, have several options for establishing paternity. Most commonly, Menifee parents either sign a Voluntary Declaration of Parentage (VDP) or go to court to establish paternity. Usually, when there are no doubts about paternity, parents opt for signing the VDP. This is a method of voluntarily establishing paternity at the hospital after the child's birth, and it is one of the easiest and quickest ways of establishing paternity in Menifee.
However, there may be disagreements between parents, or they can be unsure about paternity. In those cases, parents often choose to establish paternity via the court in Menifee. If parents choose court, the judge will likely ask the alleged father and the child to undergo DNA testing. Genetic testing is the easiest way to prove whether the alleged father is the biological father.
Paternity testing is quick and painless, usually done as a simple cheek swab. When the DNA test and analysis are completed, the judge may consider the DNA test results in the decision for child support, visitation hours, or custody.
California woman took DNA test and discovered multiple siblings
Michelle noticed she did not look like any family member, and when she was eight, her parents told her she was adopted. Eventually, she discovered her mother was Korean, but that was all she knew then until she received a special gift. For Christmas, her son gave her a DNA test. She did not use it immediately but eventually decided to take it. She was surprised at how many potential family members were revealed when she got her DNA results. Some of these were her cousins, but she was most interested in a possible biological brother. She found herself on the phone with him, and he told her that she had seven other siblings.
Michelle traveled to meet her new siblings, who told her she was much like her father. Shortly after, she began making plans to meet her mother, too. Unfortunately, her father had already passed, but she was gifted a jacket that belonged to him. Michelle said that she "felt his spirit" when she received the gift.
