Why You Should Have A Paternity Test Done

Establishing paternity means being declared the legal father after the child is born. If the parents of a child were not married when the mother became pregnant or when the child was born, the child does not have a legal father until paternity is established.

Establishing paternity is important for both the child and the parents. A child is entitled to the sense of belonging and identity that comes from knowing both parents. Establishing paternity often has an important emotional and psychological benefit for the child. 

Until there is a determination that a biological father is the legal father, the child has no right to receive financial support from the father, to inherit from the father or to obtain insurance, veterans’, social security
or other benefits through the father.

Likewise, until paternity is legally established, the biological father has no legal rights to the child, such as parenting time with the child, or participation in major decisions about the child, such as medical
treatment, education or religious training.

Additionally, genetic diseases are inherited, thus knowing your biological ancestry can be useful in proactive care and transplantation. Paternity laws tend to vary from state to state.  Click here for individual state laws. 

Motherless DNA Paternity Testing

While it is generally not necessary to obtain a DNA sample from the mother for an accurate determination of paternity, it is strongly recommended to include the mother in the test.  In a small percentage of cases, not including the mother in the test can lead to inconclusive results or a false inclusion of the father.

Accuracy

Industry wide, paternity tests are generated using as few as four markers, to as many as 16 markers. 

  • Advanced DNA Laboratories uses a 16 marker test that can achieve a probability of > 99.999%. 
  • Should a complex case arise, Advanced DNA laboratories can test an additional 5 markers, for a total of 21 genetic markers.
