Legal Paternity Test:
Used in court for custody, child support, birth certificate updates, or immigration. Requires strict identity verification and a chain of custody. This genetic test is used to determine whether a specific man is the biological father of a particular child. It works by comparing the DNA of the child with the DNA of the alleged father.
How It Works:
- DNA Collection: A sample is usually collected using a painless cheek swab (buccal swab) from both the child and the alleged father. Sometimes the mother’s DNA is also collected to increase the accuracy of the results, though it’s not always necessary.
- DNA Analysis: Scientists examine specific regions of the DNA that are known to vary greatly among individuals. A child inherits half of their DNA from each biological parent. If the tested man shares enough genetic markers with the child, he is considered the biological father.

Results:
- A result showing 99.99% probability (or higher) means the tested man is the father.
- A result showing 0% probability means the tested man is not the father.
