What are the differences between an At Home paternity test vs Legal paternity test?
Differences Between At-Home and Legal Paternity Tests
At-Home Paternity Tests:
At-Home Paternity Tests offer a convenient option for individuals to collect DNA samples in the privacy of their own home. These tests do not require the establishment of a legal chain of custody, which means that the results are generally not admissible in court. They are suitable for personal knowledge but not for legal proceedings.
Legal Paternity Tests:
Legal Paternity Tests, on the other hand, are designed to meet the standards required for legal documentation. They necessitate a strict chain of custody performed by an AABB accredited lab, which involves DNA samples being collected by an impartial third-party professional.
The individuals being tested must present state-issued identification at the appointment, and the collector typically takes photographs of the parties involved.
Because of these stringent procedures, the results of a legal paternity test are admissible in court and can be utilized for legal matters, including child custody, child support, immigration, and social security benefits.
