Common Reasons for Paternity Tests

Here are some common reasons for paternity testing:

• Child Custody/Support – Tests can be useful in cases where there may be cracks in child custody or support legal battles or agreements. This is one of the most common reasons for acquiring legal paternity test results.
• Personal Knowledge – A paternity DNA test may help in the search for more information about a person’s family history. It can even help in the search for a biological parent. These are just a few of the personal reasons one may have for wanting to conduct such a test.
• Immigration – The United States accepts DNA testing as proof of a biological relationship in many immigration matters. This can help when it comes to proving nationality, citizenship, and other immigration statuses.

Before your appointment, we will review what identification and paperwork you may need to bring so that your visit goes smoothly and efficiently. Our team explains how long your appointment is likely to take, how results are delivered, and what options are available if you need testing that may be used in court versus testing strictly for personal knowledge. Because many clients travel from surrounding communities such as Cambridge, Somerville, and Quincy, we work hard to keep the process streamlined so you can get in and out quickly.

Legal Versus Personal Paternity Testing Options

Legal Paternity Testing in Boston

When you start looking into paternity testing, one of the first decisions to make is whether you need results for personal knowledge or for a legal matter. Legal testing follows strict identification and chain-of-custody procedures, so the results may be accepted by agencies such as Massachusetts family courts or the Department of Revenue for child support cases. 

Paternity Testing for Personal Insights

For many families, personal testing is a first step that helps them decide what to do next. If your circumstances change and you later need a legal test, we can talk with you about scheduling an additional appointment that meets the formal standards. Our goal is to help you navigate what can be an emotional time by clearly laying out your options, answering questions about timing and cost, and making the process as straightforward as possible from the moment you contact us.
