Request a child support application from the Office of Child Support Enforcement. Upon receipt of a completed application, the person filing the application will be notified, in writing, to report to the office to sign the paternity petition. OCSE will then process the application and forward it to the Clerk of the Court for assignment of a hearing date. The length of time from receipt of the completed application to court hearing is three to four months. Blood testing is conducted in the old courthouse, room 013D, ground floor of the Duvall wing.
Blood testing is scheduled for child support cases that appear on the docket.
At the time of testing, proof of identification is required. Results of the blood test can be obtained three weeks following the date on which blood was drawn. When requesting results, you must provide your court case number. The court will determine the amount of reimbursement due to the State.
