When disputing paternity, or if there is a need for legal confirmation of parentage, a court-ordered paternity test may be necessary.
The test is conducted under the supervision of the court and is typically admissible as evidence. Your legal team presents your case at the court hearing. The judge determines whether a court-ordered paternity test is necessary. If so, the court orders DNA testing at an approved facility. The test results are legally binding and can impact child custody, visitation, and child support.
