Grandparentage Testing

When an alleged father cannot be tested, comparing a child's DNA with that of his parents can establish the family relationship instead.

What this test involves

  • Cheek swabs are collected from the child and one or both grandparents.
  • Including both grandparents produces the strongest, most conclusive result.
  • Legal and non-legal options are available.

Benefits

A reliable alternative when the alleged parent is deceased, absent, or unwilling
Supports inheritance, benefits, and immigration matters
Painless collection for every participant
Compassionate, private handling of sensitive family questions

Good to know

  • Adding the child's mother to the test can significantly increase the strength of the result.
