Court-Admissible DNA Paternity Tests in Rock Hill

ARCpoint Labs of Rock Hill provides court-admissible DNA paternity testing results to individuals at our Rock Hill lab. Our paternity tests are admissible in any court of law including courts in the York County areas.

Some situations require court-admissible results. This means that the results of the tests are required in a court of law as evidence. For a paternity test to be admissible in court, tests and results must be handled according to certain legal procedures provided by our Rock Hill lab.

Why Would You Need a Legal Paternity Test?

If mother was not married to her child's father, she must legally establish paternity to collect child support payments. This is because she must prove the DNA paternity before she can establish a court order for child support. More families than ever before need to establish paternity in the U.S. There has been a 377% increase in the number of children born to never married-parents in the past 10 years. Paternity may also need to be established if a couple was married and living apart when the child was conceived or if the couple was married and the husband says he is not the biological father.

Benefits of Establishing Paternity From Our Rock Hill Lab

• Collection of child support payments means that the responsibility for support is taken care of by both parents
• Children can be covered by father's medical insurance
• Children become eligible for Social Security and Veteran's benefits from their father
• The child's right to inheritance is protected
• The child is legitimatized and their heritage is complete

Our Rock Hill Paternity Testing Lab

Pre-natal paternity testing is offered by some of our DNA testing labs. Please contact ARCpoint Labs of Rock Hill, South Carolina to find out if pre-natal DNA testing is an option.
