What is a secret paternity test?
A secret paternity test is a DNA test conducted to determine biological paternity without the knowledge or consent of one or more parties involved, typically the mother, child, or the alleged father. This type of test is often sought by individuals who want to confirm paternity discreetly.
It should be noted that the results of this type of DNA test are not legally admissible in court. Although in most states there are no specific laws we are aware of governing DNA sample collection without consent, We strongly recommend checking your state laws regarding the collection of DNA samples without consent, as regulations may vary.
