Please note, same-day paternity testing will incur additional costs to make your case a priority.

Can I use another sample other than the cheek swabs enclosed in my DNA Collection Kit? 

Yes. Alternative samples can be used but we recommend that you contact our office before purchasing a home kit to ensure using an alternative sample like a toothbrush, bloodstain, or hair sample are a good testing option based on your situation. 

Can I use my results for legal purposes? 

Unfortunately, No. Home paternity test results cannot be used for any legal purpose. 

What is the difference between an At-Home Paternity Test and a Legal Paternity Test? 

A home paternity test cannot be used for any legal reason such as birth certificate name changes, child support, child custody, or Social Security reasons.

A  home test cannot be used if, a chain of custody must be established and the samples must be collected by an unbiased third-party DNA sample collector.

If you would like to learn more about the differences between home and legal tests please do not hesitate to contact our office at 973-609-5102 today. 

Are home paternity tests just as accurate as legal tests? 

Yes. Both testing options are tested the exact same way. The difference between the two options is the use of each paternity test result.

If you would like to learn more about the differences between home and legal tests please do not hesitate to contact our office at 973-609-5102 today.

What is the difference between a Home Paternity from CVS and your Home DNA test?

Many At-Home DNA paternity test kits sold at CVS and other retail stores oftentimes do not disclose the additional fee to have you have to pay to test your DNA samples.

Second, some Home DNA tests are performed by labs located in other countries.

The Home DNA test kits we offer are performed by an accredited laboratory. What this means is, your DNA samples will be tested the exact same way as a legal paternity test.

We also provide a live DNA testing consultant you can speak with to order your Home Paternity Test kit or to ask questions about the process.
