How Does a Prenatal Paternity Test Work?

Our process is simple and safe:

Blood Sample Collection: We collect a blood sample from the mother's arm.
DNA Buccal Swab: We take a buccal swab DNA sample from the potential father's cheek.

This test can be performed starting from the 7th week of pregnancy, eliminating the risks associated with more invasive procedures. Unlike traditional methods, our tests do not involve using needles to draw embryonic fluid directly from the womb, thereby carrying zero risk of miscarriage.

Prenatal Paternity Testing & California Law

In California, prenatal paternity test results can play a direct role in legal proceedings, so the type of test you choose can have real consequences. California Family Code sections 7550 through 7562 govern the use of genetic testing in parentage cases. When voluntarily obtained, accredited test results can be submitted in legal proceedings and may help support efforts to establish legal parentage, even before a child is born.

A Legal Prenatal Paternity Test collected at a certified site like Fastest Labs of Chula Vista is designed to meet the chain-of-custody requirements California courts and the California Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) use to evaluate whether results are admissible evidence. A home kit or non-chain-of-custody test doesn’t meet that standard, even if the underlying science is similar.

It’s also helpful to understand where Prenatal Paternity Testing fits in the broader timeline. Unmarried parents in California are offered a Voluntary Declaration of Paternity form at the hospital at the time of birth. Establishing paternity before birth through a Legal Prenatal Paternity Test is a separate, earlier step, and one that may matter when child support, custody arrangements, or immigration-related parentage matters require resolution without waiting until delivery.

For Chula Vista residents with cases before San Diego County Superior Court or open matters with the DCSS, we encourage you to reach out to Fastest Labs of Chula Vista to confirm which test type fits your situation before scheduling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Father Need to Come in at the Same Time as the Mother?

No. The mother’s blood sample and the father’s buccal swab can be collected at separate appointments. Both samples are required to produce results, but they don’t need to be gathered on the same visit. Contact us to coordinate the timing that works best for each person.

Can We Use the Test If the Father Lives Outside Chula Vista or Outside the U.S.?

In many cases, the father’s buccal swab can be collected at a different authorized location. Contact Fastest Labs of Chula Vista directly to discuss coordination options for remote sample collection before scheduling.

Is Prenatal Paternity Testing Covered by Insurance or Medi-Cal?

Prenatal paternity testing is generally treated as an elective service and isn’t covered by most private insurance plans or Medi-Cal. Clients should be prepared to pay out of pocket.

What Happens If the Result Comes Back Inconclusive?

Inconclusive results can occur when the fetal DNA fraction in the maternal blood sample falls below the threshold needed for analysis. This is more likely when testing is performed very close to the 7-week eligibility window. In those cases, a retest after additional weeks of pregnancy may be recommended.

Can the Test Tell Us the Baby’s Sex?

Yes. Gender determination is available as an optional add-on for an additional fee. You can request this at the time of scheduling or when you arrive for your appointment.

What’s the Difference Between a Legal & a Non-legal Prenatal Paternity Test?

The Legal Prenatal Paternity Test follows a verified chain-of-custody process, meaning samples are collected and documented by a certified professional at an authorized site. That documentation makes results suitable for use in court proceedings. The Non-legal Prenatal Paternity Test is designed for personal knowledge only and can’t be submitted in legal proceedings, though the underlying accuracy is the same.
