The easiest and most reliable way to obtain a DNA sample for paternity testing is to swab the inner cheeks of the people being tested. 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 registering online and shipping the specimens to us.

Establishing paternity in Shawnee, KS
If parent are not married when the baby is born, the law does not legally recognize the alleged father as the legal father. Legally establishing paternity means the father will be legally recognized. In Shawnee, Kansas, parents can establish paternity by signing the Acknowledgment of Paternity (AOP), often done at the hospital with help from hospital staff.
However, there are situations where parents may choose not to sign the AOP. If there are doubts about paternity or the parents don't agree, establishing paternity through the court system is an alternative option. In court, the judge may require a DNA test to collect evidence of the father-child relationship. If paternity is established, the judge may also determine child support, visitation, and custody if necessary.
