Accurate. Confidential. Convenient.
We offer a wide range of DNA tests for legal and personal use.
In Pennsylvania, not all family questions arise at the beginning of the child’s life. Some arise years later during inheritance matters, while some arise before the child’s birth. In some situations, individuals want answers only for their peace of mind, while in others, they need legal documentation to move forward with a legal trial.
DNA testing in Pennsylvania is a reliable and trusted way to establish biological relationships in both legal and private situations. Whether the goal is to establish legal parentage, determine financial responsibilities, or just relationship verification, Face DNA Test offers a range of DNA tests in Pennsylvania.
We make the DNA testing process simple and accessible through our affordable solutions and network of certified DNA testing centers in Pennsylvania. All DNA tests are conducted in our AABB-accredited & CLIA-certified DNA testing labs, while maintaining all legal standards and client privacy.
A biological relationship verification and legal parentage are not always the same thing. In Pennsylvania, establishing legal parentage has legal consequences affecting custody, child support, obligations, inheritance rights, and access to various benefits.
Therefore, paternity matters are addressed under Pennsylvania’s Uniform Parentage Act found in 23 Pa.C.S. Chapter 61. This law explains how parentage can be established, challenged, and legally recognized. Moreover, this law provides the courts with the authority to order a legal DNA test in Pennsylvania.
In many cases, paternity is not disputed, and parents voluntarily acknowledge it. However, when parents disagree about a child’s biological father, a court-ordered DNA test in Pennsylvania becomes a significant part of the process.
Pennsylvania courts usually order a DNA paternity test because DNA evidence provides the most reliable, science-backed information about biological relationships. Because legal proceedings require reliable documentation, the courts accept DNA test results from DNA testing that follows strict chain-of-custody procedures.
At Face DNA Test, we understand all these legal requirements, which include:
Whether the goal is to establish parentage for child custody issues, update a birth record, or resolve an inheritance conflict, legal DNA testing provides the scientific evidence to move forward.
