PATERNITY TESTing NYC
Legal DNA Testing NYC Services
A legal DNA paternity test determines the biological relationship between an alleged father and a child.
A DNA test is legally admissible when a chain of custody is established. DNA samples must be collected by an unbiased collector, and the testing lab must be accredited by the AABB (formerly known as the American Association of Blood Banks).
Results can be used for legal purposes such as immigration, child custody, child support, birth certificate changes, and social security benefits..
