Paternity
DNA Parentage Testing in TennesseeThe law in Tennessee allows for DNA parentage testing and reestablishment of paternity, even after a Court has entered an order establishing paternity. See White v. Armstrong. In many law practices at least one child per month is determined NOT to be the man's child, even when the woman swears she did not have sexual relations with anyone other than the man she swears is the father. Until women stop lying or you believe in immaculate conception as an every day occurrence, it is irresponsible not to have DNA testing. If nothing else, the child deserves to know his biological father. DNA testing for paternity is the most extensive and accurate test available to determine parentage. The fee for testing one child and one alleged father, with or without the mother is usually between $350 and $600. Samples are easily obtained from the inside of the mouth with a cotton swab, or with as little as 5 to 10 drops of blood from a finger prick. How certain are the results when the man is NOT the father? The DNA tests for paternity proves conclusively that the tested man is NOT the biological father of the child. In such cases, the tested man's genes do not match the child's genes on at least two different genes. The probability of paternity is 0%, and you can be 100% certain that he is NOT the child's biological father. How certain are the results when the man IS the father? The average probability of paternity for DNA testing is greater than 99.97%. |
