Common DNA Tests Used in Child Support Cases

The most common DNA test associated with child support cases is the paternity test. However, families should undergo the DNA tests that best fit their unique needs and situations.

DNA tests frequently used in child support cases include:

  • Paternity Test - To verify the biological relationship between an alleged father and a child using DNA samples.
  • Maternity Test - To verify the biological relationship between an alleged mother and a child using DNA samples.
  • Viability Test - To analyze an unusual biological sample to determine if it has enough viable DNA to use in a DNA test. This test is frequently used when an alleged father or other tested party is missing, unavailable, or deceased.
  • Grandparentage Test - To verify the biological relationship between grandparents and their grandchild using DNA samples. This test is often used to indirectly determine the paternity of a child when the alleged father is missing.
