Establishing Paternity in Massachusetts
Resources to Establish Paternity
In Massachusetts, there are several resources available for establishing paternity. The Massachusetts Department of Revenue's Child Support Enforcement Division assists parents in establishing paternity through administrative processes. Hospitals often provide paternity acknowledgment forms that parents can complete at the time of a child's birth. Genetic testing may be an option when there is paternity uncertainty, and the court can order such tests if necessary. Legal assistance from private attorneys or legal aid organizations can also be sought to initiate paternity establishment proceedings through the court system. Establishing paternity is essential for securing parental rights and responsibilities, including child support and access to medical records.
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.
