Establishing Paternity in Illinois

Resources to Establish Paternity

In Illinois, individuals seeking to establish paternity have access to various resources. The Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) offers assistance with paternity establishment, including information on filing a Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity (VAP) form at hospitals and birthing centers. Legal aid organizations and family law attorneys can provide guidance and representation in paternity cases, especially when court involvement is necessary for child support or custody matters. Additionally, the Illinois Child Support Services (CSS) program helps in locating absent parents, establishing paternity, and ensuring child support payments are made. These resources aim to protect the rights and well-being of children by establishing legal fatherhood and securing the financial support they deserve.

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.

  • We primarily utilize non-invasive cheek (buccal) swabs for DNA collection. This simple, painless method provides sufficient genetic material for our 99.99% accurate tests.

    In certain cases, such as prenatal testing, we may also use blood samples.

  • 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.

  • You can access your results delivered via email. Our standard turnaround time is 2 business days after the lab receives all necessary samples for paternity and maternity tests. 5 business day turnaround time for other relationship DNA tests.

  • Our legal DNA tests, which follow strict chain-of-custody procedures, are court-admissible. However, only tests specifically ordered as "legal" with proper documentation and witnessed collection can be used for legal purposes.

  • Yes, we understand the importance of accessibility for these crucial tests. We offer flexible payment plans to help manage the cost of our services. Contact our customer service team for details on the available options.
