Can the results be used as evidence in court?
The legal requirements of paternity cases vary greatly from place to place so check what you need before undertaking the test. For the test results to hold up in a court of law a doctor will be required to collect the sample. You will also have to provide additional personal information (such as fingerprints and photographs) to confirm your identity. The results of a home sampling kit are just as accurate, but are strictly for personal assurance.
