Paternity Test Myths
Paternity tests often come with misconceptions, but let’s dispel three of the most prevalent myths surrounding them.
Myth: Paternity Testing is a lengthy process – False!
Contrary to common belief, paternity testing is typically a swift procedure. Results can often be delivered to you within just 5-7 working days. Some companies even offer an express results service for a nominal extra charge, guaranteeing results in as little as 4 working days.
Generally, the duration between sending your samples and receiving results is quite brief. Instances of delayed results are often attributable to postal system delays rather than any shortcomings on the part of the DNA company.
Myth: Paternity Testing can only be undertaken at a specialist clinic – False!
Gone are the days when you had to visit a specialised clinic for a paternity test. Thanks to advancements in technology, you can now order a paternity DNA test kit from the convenience of your home and have it delivered to your doorstep.
A home DNA test kit contains all the necessary materials for conducting the test at home, including detailed instructions, sterile swabs, storage vials, and prepaid return envelopes.
Myth: Paternity DNA tests cannot be used in court – Once again, false!
Contrary to this misconception, a court of law does accept paternity DNA tests, but there’s a crucial distinction to be made. To ensure admissibility in court, you must opt for a legal paternity test. In this process, samples are collected by a professional who verifies the identity of all individuals involved in the test. This differs from a home paternity test, where you collect samples yourself for analysis. While both types of tests undergo the same laboratory analysis, legal paternity tests incur higher costs due to the chain of custody and additional procedures involved.
Choosing the right test is paramount, depending on your legal requirements.
