Avuncular DNA Testing: Establishing Paternity

When the father is unavailable for paternity testing, an avuncular DNA test can provide essential evidence. By examining the DNA of the child and the alleged father's sibling (aunt or uncle), a strong probability of paternity can be determined.

Legal Avuncular DNA Testing

To establish paternity for legal purposes, a chain-of-custody process is crucial. This involves a supervised sample collection by a qualified professional. The results of a legal avuncular DNA test are admissible in court and can be used for various legal matters such as child support, inheritance, and immigration.
