Service area
United States
Offers genetic/DNA testing to determine paternity. The father can start the process if he likes and the mother and child can be tested on a different day. All family members do not have to be seen at the same time. Genetic samples are stored for up to two years. In cases where the father is deceased, will direct the family to the proper testing agency (which may be different depending on the situation). If the father is out-of-state, will contract with an out-of-state agency to perform the testing. Also makes available speakers on the subject of paternity establishment to schools and community groups.
