Legal Paternity Test

A legal paternity test is a scientific method used to determine the biological father of a child. It typically involves collecting DNA samples from the child, the alleged father, and sometimes the mother. The DNA is then analyzed to compare genetic markers. These tests are often used in legal situations, such as child support or custody cases, to provide clear evidence of a father-child relationship. The results are usually legally admissible in court, making them important for resolving disputes regarding parentage and ensuring that both legal and parental rights are upheld.
