Legal paternity testing is a DNA test that is performed to help establish if an alleged father is biologically related to a child. What makes this DNA test result a legal document is, the establishment of a chain of custody. In addition, all legal paternity and related DNA tests can only be performed by an AABB accredited DNA testing lab. Labs that are accredited by the AABB are recognized by Family Courts, Immigration offices, and all state and government institutions.
