DNA Lady
Do you have a question about the Paternity or Maternity of a child or relative? Do you have a question about the biological background of a family member?
In New Jersey, you do not need a doctor's prescription or Court Order to have a private DNA test performed to confirm any family relationship.
There are a few methods by which we can test to determine paternity:
1.) Prior to Birth
Amniocentesis Prenatal Paternity Test
This test proves the paternity of an unborn child. This medical procedure is performed between the 14th and 24th weeks of a pregnancy. The procedure involves inserting a needle into the womb and drawing out about 15 - 30 mls of amniotic fluid. Your gynecologist should discuss with you the potential risks to you and your unborn child involved in having an amniocentesis performed. You must arrange with your doctor to have them perform the amniocentesis and coordinate with us on the same day to have your DNA sample collected and the alleged father's DNA sample collected by oral swab and sent to our laboratory together with the amniotic fluid to be tested immediately.
Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) Prenatal Test
This test proves the paternity of an unborn child. The CVS is a medical procedure performed between the 9th and 12th weeks of a pregnancy. A very small piece of the placenta is removed through the vagina. Your gynecologist should discuss with you the potential risks to you and your unborn child involved in having a CVS performed. As with an amniocentesis, you must coordinate with your doctor and a DNA collector, so that on the same day the CVS is performed, we can collect a DNA sample from the mother and the alleged father and have all 3 samples sent to the lab for analysis immediately.
Results for both of these types of Prenatal Paternity Tests take approximately 5 - 7 business days. We will call you at a convenient number with the results and then mail directly to you (or where you instruct) the hard copy of the tests.
2.) At Birth
Legally Admissible Paternity Test - a DNA Collector can come to your hospital room as quickly as the day of birth, as a visitor and perform DNA collection on the mother, child and alleged father. Proper identification is required for both mother and alleged father, ie, driver's license, state services identification card, work ID, current student ID, current military ID. Our DNA Collector has undergone a series of vaccinations as well as criminal background check, to insure she is not infectious to a new born or anyone with a weakened immune system. You must clear our presence with the floor nurse, prior to our entering the facility. The mother's DNA is not required to prove paternity, however, results are stronger if the mother is included in the testing. If the hospital would prefer that you not have us enter the facility, we are happy to offer our private office for collections at a time convenient to everyone.
Private Paternity Test - A DNA Collector can come to your hospital room as soon as the day of birth, as a visitor and perform a DNA Collection on the mother, child and alleged father. There is less time spent on identification of the mother and father; however, you must clear our presence in your room with the floor nurse. The mother's DNA is not required to prove paternity, however, results are stronger if the mother is included in the testing. If the hospital would prefer that you not have us enter the facility, we are happy to offer our private office for collections at a time convenient to everyone.
Home Paternity Kit - you have seen these on the market and in local drug stores. We want to participate in this market as well; however, we notice that many customers are paying for the over the counter kits and then not confident in the results. We offer a short lesson on how to perform the actual collection when you purchase a Home Paternity kit from us. You will leave our private office confident in your skills to properly collect a DNA sample from all parties.
The results for any of the above 3 after birth paternity tests are provided within 3 - 5 business days. 90% are provided within 3 business days. Only the Legally Admissible Test can be used in the future to secure child support and benefits.
3.) Father not available for testing
If the father is missing or deceased, we can establish paternity of a child to obtain survivor benefits (military, social security) through other methods. If for any reason, the alleged father is not available for a DNA test and you have access to any of the following biologic fluids:
Blood, fresh in cold storage, less than 30 days old
FTA Blood Stain Card, less than 30 days old, usually held by a County Medical Examiner's Office if an autopsy was performed in New Jersey
Semen, fresh or frozen, on a swab or in a vial
Cotton Swab (mouth swab)
Bone Marrow - fresh or frozen, not on slides or in paraffin
Other unusual samples can be used as well please check with your local DNA collector.
We first will need to test the biologic fluid for viability of DNA. If viable (usable) DNA is present, we can then proceed with a regular paternity test using the mother and child's DNA and comparing to the genetic sequencing found in the biological fluid of the alleged father.
Relatives
If your baby is a boy, and the father is not available for DNA testing but his father (the paternal grandfather) and mother are available we can perform a Y-Chromosome Test to determine the probability of paternity.
If your baby is a boy or girl, and the father is not available for a DNA test, but his father and mother (paternal grandparents) are available, we can perform a GrandPaternity Test to determine the probability of paternity
Brothers and Sisters
There are various methods to establish a familial relationship by collecting DNA samples from brothers and sisters - siblingship tests. Call us with your unique circumstances and we will provide you with the best test available to determine the relationship you are seeking to prove.
