Maternity Legal

DNA testing can be used to determine if there is a biological relationship between two individuals. This is typically done by obtaining genetic material (DNA samples) from the two individuals via cheek swabs, then comparing these samples. 

A maternity test is used to determine if someone is the biological mother of a child. It works by comparing the DNA of the alleged mother to the DNA of the child. 

The results from this maternity test can be used for legal purposes. Examples of legal settings that may require this type of test include (but are not limited to): 

  • Birth certificate issues
  • Adoption
  • Child custody or visitation
  • Immigration
  • Medical, Social Security, or Military benefits
  • Other types of legal/verified situations
