Grandparentage Testing Scenarios


Reunited...



"My son passed away almost five years ago. Now, some woman who he dated over 10 years ago contacted me to say her daughter is my son’s. How do I know this isn’t a case of mistaken identity?"

With grandparentage testing, you can determine if a child is your biological grandchild even though the father is unavailable for a paternity test. Both biological parents of the possible father need to be tested along with the child and the child's mother.

 

Wanting to be sure...

"My grandson looks nothing like my son, and I know his mother has not always been faithful. My son is very loyal and is reluctant to take a paternity test. How else can I find out if the boy is really my grandson?"

A parternity test is the most definitive proof of relationship in this situation. However, a grandparentage test can help you to determine if you and your husband are the biological grandparents of the child.

 

A difficult situation...

"My son is only 16, and now he has a son of his own. At least, that is what the mother says. He is not even seeing the mother anymore and has no custodial rights, but I read that I might be liable for his child support payments. How do I know the child is actually my grandchild?"

We can provide you with a legally admissible grandparentage test. This test, performed by an AABB-accredited laboratory, uses the chain of custody sample collection procedure that ensures the results will be accepted by courts and other government agencies.

 

Protecting the child...

"My granddaughter has lived with me for over a year now because her mother and father (my son) cannot care for her. They are always arguing and fighting with each other, and my son even said that she might not be his. I don’t know if he was just mad, or if there was truth in that statement. How do I know for sure?"

You can approach your son and suggest a paternity test. If he refuses, you can then consider grandparentage testing.

 

 

Maintaining connections..

"My son died last year, and now the mother of my grandchildren will not let me see them. I am fighting for legal visitation rights, and my lawyer suggested that I might want to get a DNA test to prove they are my biological grandchildren in case something comes up in court. How can I do that since my son is gone?"

Many courts accept grandparentage testing results as proof of a child's biological relationship to the grandparents. It is up to the court to decide on visitation rights, but a DNA test can be a valuable support to your case.
