A paternity suit is a type of family law case where children are born to unmarried parents and can arise where there is uncertainty or disagreement regarding the identity of the child’s biological father. It is common for the court to order a DNA paternity test as part of a paternity case. The test is conducted by a licensed agency that must meet specific requirements to qualify to provide DNA paternity results to the court.
