Establishing Paternity in West Virginia
Resources to Establish Paternity
In West Virginia, several resources are available to assist individuals in establishing paternity, an essential step for legal and social reasons. The West Virginia Bureau for Child Support Enforcement (BCSE) provides services to help establish paternity, including genetic testing when needed. Additionally, family law attorneys specializing in paternity cases can offer legal guidance and representation throughout the process. Local family courts play a crucial role in resolving paternity matters, ensuring that children have the opportunity to establish a legal connection with both parents. If you need support or have questions regarding paternity establishment in West Virginia, these resources are valuable for navigating the process successfully.
Frequently Asked Questions About DNA Relationship Tests

For legal DNA tests, we have a nationwide network of approved collection sites that follow strict chain-of-custody procedures. For non-legal DNA tests, we offer convenient at-home kits that can be used in 49 U.S. states and select international locations.

While including the mother's DNA can provide additional genetic information, it is not always necessary for our advanced DNA analysis. Our cutting-edge Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology can often determine relationships accurately without maternal DNA, though some specific legal situations may require the mother's participation.

Our at-home kits come with detailed instructions. Typically, you'll need to avoid eating, drinking, or smoking for 1 hour before collecting the sample, then rub the swab inside your cheek for 30-60 seconds and allow it to air dry before returning it to us.
