Can the paternity test be performed if the mother is unavailable?
In most cases, the samples are taken from the mother, child and presumed father, but it is also possible to conduct the test with samples from only the child and the presumed father. However, if the mother is not available, the legal guardian must present a court order in order to sign the child’s consent form, if the latter is under 18 years of age. Under no circumstances will our laboratory conduct a test without the consent of the parties concerned.
