Perhaps the most powerful evidence in a paternity case is the results of a court DNA test. These results are based on scientific analysis that compares the genetic material of the child with that of the alleged father.
If the man is not excluded, then with DNA testing, the probability of him being the father can be determined up to 99.999%. The DNA testing performed by us is more more accurate than older methods, such as blood grouping and other less extensive DNA testing offered by some parentage testing laboratories.
The fathers name will appear on the birth certificate, and the father must consent to the name of the child before the childs name appears on the birth certificate. A father signing just the birth certificate, without signing a Paternity Acknowledgement Affidavit, does not constitute paternity.
