Why Get a Prenatal Paternity Test?
The most obvious reason to get a prenatal paternity test is to know, before a child is born, just who its biological parents are. If there’s any doubt regarding the paternity of the child, prenatal paternity testing can help identify the biological father so that, ideally, your child is properly cared for by those who have decided interest in – or responsibility for – the child’s overall well-being. Our prenatal DNA test can help you do just that. Another reason people seek a prenatal paternity test is because laws in many states require unmarried couples to fill out a form known as an Acknowledgment of Paternity form at the time their child is born. This form is a legal document that acknowledges the identity of the child’s biological father. In the event that this form remains incomplete, and the mother has not been married within the 300 days previous the birth of the child, no father will be listed on the birth certificate.
