Trio Legal Paternity
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.
The Trio Paternity Test compares a child’s DNA to the DNA of the biological mother and the alleged biological father. Both parents must participate in this test. If the mother does not participate in the test, it is called the “motherless paternity test”; however, it is preferable to have the child’s mother participate in a paternity test as well, since she contributed 50% of her DNA to the child.
The results from this trio test can be used for legal purposes. If you are just looking for a Trio Test that can provide answers and peace of mind, and you are not planning to use the results for any kind of legal purpose, check out the Informational Trio Test (keep in mind that the results from the Informational Trio Test are not legally admissible).
