Under the Minnesota Parentage Act (Minnesota Statutes Chapter 257), Minnesota law provides several ways of establishing legal parentage, including:
One of the most common methods is the Recognition of Parentage process. Under Minnesota Statutes 257.75, unmarried parents can voluntarily sign this affidavit and establish the parentage. Once submitted. This form has legal significance and can establish parental rights & obligations without going to court.
On the other hand, if one or both parents don’t agree, they can take legal paternity action. In response to this, the court can order a legal DNA paternity test in Minnesota. The test results become an important part of the legal proceedings involving child support, custody, and inheritance disputes.
Therefore, it is important to choose a legal DNA test for court-approved results when you are dealing with a court matter. Our at-home DNA test kit in Minnesota provides accurate results but is not suitable for legal use because the court requires a documented chain of custody and ID verification for each participant.
At Face DNA Test, our court-ordered DNA tests follow the legal guidelines, such as:
We provide results in court-approved format that can be used as evidence in Minnesota courts.
At Face DNA Test, we focus on clear communication and the privacy of every client.
