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.

Establishing paternity in Montebello, CA
Establishing paternity for unwed parents in Montebello, California can be easy. If parents have no reason to doubt who the birth father is, they usually choose to establish paternity voluntarily. This can be done by signing the Voluntary Declaration of Parentage (VDP) at the hospital after the child is born. In California, hospital staff is trained and educated on how to proceed and should be able to help with the process.
However, a VDP should not be signed if there are any reason to doubt the paternity. In cases where parents disagree or are unsure about paternity, they often choose to establish paternity via court instead. The judge often asks the alleged father and the child to take a DNA test. If paternity is established, the judge may also make decisions regarding custody, child support, and visitation if necessary.
Health Street's DNA testing services can help parents establish paternity. Our tests are 99.9% accurate and involve a simple cheek swab, making the process quick and painless. With Health Street, you can effortlessly establish paternity, providing you with peace of mind and clarity. Contact us today to benefit from our trusted DNA testing services.
Montebello, California: Disputing paternity
In some instances, disputing paternity simply requires taking a DNA test. If the test confirms that you are not the biological father, the judge may rule in your favor during a paternity dispute hearing. If you have already signed a VDP, however, you have a 60-day window to dispute it. Beyond this timeframe, canceling the declaration requires initiating legal proceedings through the court.
If you wish to dispute the summons from a local child support agency, you have thirty days to take the DNA test. Ensure you do not miss the deadline; otherwise, the court can establish you as a legal parent even if you are not the birth father.
