DNA Paternity Testing: Everything You Need to Know

Both the legal and scientific communities consider DNA paternity tests to be the gold standard when trying to establish a relationship between a possible father and child.

DNA paternity testing is a vital tool that can prove or disprove a biological relationship between a possible father and child. Our cutting-edge DNA paternity testing in Arlington, Texas uses the DNA profile from both the father and child. We then compare the data we gather to determine if there is a genetic match. Should the results match, it proves that the man is the biological father.
