Establishing Paternity

Paternity can be determined in a number of ways with DNA testing being the most accurate way of establishing paternity. This procedure involves comparing DNA fragments from an alleged father to those of the child in order to find whether there is any similarity between them. If the child has DNA fragments which are not found in the alleged father then paternity is rejected, otherwise paternity is not excluded and a paternity index is calculated to provide a mathematical estimate of the possibility of a relationship between the alleged father and the child.

Establishing paternity can be useful in many circumstances. Whether an individual would simply like to resolve his or her doubts regarding paternity, or take a step further and resolve legal issues such as child support (CSA), custody of children, or adoption, a paternity test can potentially be the means of helping an individual to avoid unnecessary child support payments and years of emotional heartache.
