Alternate DNA Sources
DNA is a component of virtually every cell in the human
body and is constantly shed from a variety of sources, including skin cells and
hair. Forensically identifiable DNA samples that have not been contaminated can
be found on evidence that is decades old. Several factors can affect DNA
stability, such as sunlight, moisture, bacteria, and mold. Consequently, not all
DNA evidence samples submitted for evaluation will result in a usable DNA
profile. You may be asked to submit additional samples for testing.

Attention
New York State Residents: New
York State Law requires that all DNA paternity tests including a participant in
the State of New York must include a Doctor's prescription (or a court order)
and a documented chain-of-custody for all the specimens. Personal and/or
anonymous DNA testing is prohibited in the State of New York.
Paternity Testing in Colorado - Please
check the laws in your home state!
This article is provided as a general
commentary and should not be considered as legal advice
Colorado law allows for various types of evidence to establish
paternity. Evidence relating to paternity may include:
- evidence of sexual intercourse between the mother and
alleged father at any possible time of conception;
- an expert's opinion concerning the statistical probability
of the alleged father's paternity based on the duration of the mother's
pregnancy;
- genetic test results, weighted in accordance with evidence,
if available, of the statistical probability of the alleged father's
paternity;
- medical or anthropological evidence based on tests
performed by experts; and
- all other evidence relevant to the issue of paternity of a
child.
While there are many types of evidence that may be utilized to
establish paternity, the most precise and definitive
method available for determining parentage is through genetic (DNA) testing. Everyone is born with a
unique genetic blueprint known as DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid.) Because DNA is
passed down from mother and father to child, DNA Identification of genetic
markers provides a conclusive way to determine biological relationships. By
comparing the DNA profiles of the mother, father, and child, the genetic
relatedness of a group of individuals can be determined.
DNA testing has been shown to be as high as 99.99% accurate.
Colorado law provides that, in any action or proceeding where
paternity is at issue, the court may, at the request of either party or on its
own accord, require the child, mother and the man to submit to appropriate
parentage tests including genetic (DNA) testing. A laboratory accredited by the
secretary of the federal Department of Health and Human Services must conduct
such testing.
In the past several years, DNA testing has become inexpensive
and is usually considered by the courts as conclusive evidence. Due to advances
in technology, DNA testing can now be completed within a few days and some
laboratories will even make house calls to take samples. DNA samples were
originally obtained by drawing blood samples. Although some laboratories still
do this, most now obtain DNA samples by buccal swabs of the cheek cells in the
mouth. Thus, testing for young children is much less invasive than it once was
and DNA testing can be accomplished on anyone regardless of age.
If paternity is an issue in your case, it would be wise to
request that genetic (DNA) testing be ordered by the court to conclusively
determine the issue of paternity. In most cases, this will conclusively resolve
the issue. The Court will then be free to move on to determine issues such as
parental responsibilities, parenting time, and child support.

Think you might be the
father? read on
Today is my
daughter's 18th birthday.......
I'm so glad that this is my last child support payment. Month
after
month, year after year, those payments!
So I called my
daughter and asked her to come over to my house,
and when
she got there, I said to her, "Honey, I want you to take this last
check
over to your mother's house and tell her that this is the last
check
she's
ever going to get from me, and I want you to come back and tell me
the
expression that's on her face."
So my daughter took
the check over to her. I was really anxious to
hear
what she had to say and what she looked like.
As my daughter
walked through the door, I said, "Now what did
she have to
say?"
"She told me to
tell you that you're not my daddy... and watch the
expression on your face".

Expand your knowledge about DNA Identification
DNA is the initialized short version for a
genetic term
known as
Deoxyribonucleic
Acid.
By definition
a nucleic acid that carries the genetic information in the
cell and is capable of self-replication and synthesis of RNA. DNA consists
of two long chains of nucleotides twisted into a double helix and joined by
hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases adenine and thymine or cytosine
and guanine. The sequence of nucleotides determines individual hereditary
characteristics.
Stated simply, each parent provides a set of 24
chromosome cells that carry the genes and function in the transmission of
hereditary information to the offspring. The genes contained within the
chromosomes are the building blocks of the offspring and are responsible for all
inherited characteristics. Each offspring or child has a unique DNA
identity just as their parents. Therefore a highly probable identity of the
mother, father, offspring and other genetic relationships of relatives can be
mapped with an extreme degree of accuracy, about 99.9999%. DNA tests are
conducted for a number of reasons such as paternity or maternity, adoption,
evidence for child support, for immigration records, forensics, infidelity, homo and hetero sexuality determination and others. DNA testing can give you the
Peace of mind you deserve.
Collecting and
submitting your DNA samples
The collection of DNA samples for testing is
simple and painless. If you are seeking DNA answers for your own personal
information a buccal or a cheek sampling is fine which can be quickly taken in
the privacy of your home or office by using the free
kit that we provide and
simply submit the sample to our DNA testing lab. We provide Airborne
Express envelopes for this purpose with all shipping prepaid to
and from our test lab. A cheek (Buccal) sample is the
collection of saliva from both lower jaw cavities of the mouth on separate cotton swabs. Should you require the samples for
use in a legal matter you will need to make a brief visit to one of our
convenient medical
collection centers located near you. This will insure what the "chain
of custody" as required by the courts will be maintained. The center collects the sample and
therefore acts as an official, legal, witness as to the samples authenticity. A recent picture of
each individual being tested must be provided with your sample submittal.
The testing center will normally take a quick Polaroid to accompany the sample
(s) being submitted to the test lab for evaluation. The easiest way to get
started is to call our office now at
1-866-889-3410 (toll free).
Benefits of Establishing Paternity
The establishment of paternity
in unmarried births is seen as one way to address the
deprivations associated with
out-of-wedlock parentage. Among the recognized medical benefits
to paternity establishment is
knowledge about the father's genetic background, including potential
inherited disorders which
allow appropriate medical care to be provided, and the possibility of
the father being the
life-saving donor of bone-marrow, a kidney or other organs in a medical
emergency. The emotional and
psychological benefits of paternity include the opportunity to
identify with the paternal
half of a child's ancestral roots, and to know and explore family
heritage, culture and
religious ties.
Paternity may also lead to the opportunity
to establish a
parent-child relationship and
the exercise of paternal contact and access to the paternal family
Among the many social
entitlements that ensue from paternity are the ability to realize
inheritance proceedings,
survivor benefits through social security, and dependent benefits under
workman's compensation if the
father is injured on the job. If the father is a member of the armed
forces, or becomes a member,
paternity can lead to monthly dependent benefits, educational benefits and military health
care and insurance. Finally, paternity
establishment may lead to important financial benefits. Evidence of paternity is needed if the
mother wants child support. Evidence of paternity can also lead to dependent health care coverage
if the father's employer has insurance and a share of
unemployment compensation if the father is unemployed.

DNA
and Infidelity Concerns
DNA Testing for possible infidelity usually
requires the submission of articles of clothing, hairs with follicles attached,
semen samples, blood, skin cells, saliva, lipstick, make up and many others. Should you discover a potential
infidelity sample you wish to have evaluated be sure to retain the same in a paper container,
e.g. bag or envelope to minimize contamination. Please avoid the use of
any plastic storage bags or containers. We suggest that you submit the sample or
samples as soon as possible to protect the sample integrity for DNA evaluation. DNA
is not only a very effective choice for paternity and forensic matters but quite
conclusive for the establishment of spousal or partner activity related to
infidelity. The infidelity may occur as a part of any social relationship
including a husband and wife, a girlfriend or boyfriend, and same sex
relationships. What should you consider as as an acceptable DNA sample for
evaluation? After unprotected sex, sex without the use of a condom or diaphragm,
all women experience a condition known as flow back. This flow back
typically causes a women to secrete small amounts of semen from the vagina for a
period of up to 72 hours following intercourse. During sexual activity,
with or without intercourse, semen stains may also be deposited on various items
such as sheets, towels, tissues, carpeting, upholstery and a list of many
others. Dried semen can remain on unwashed articles for many years and in
most cases semen stains are easily recognizable giving the material in question
a stiff, starchy, feeling and appearance. These traces of dried semen are
like glue and become locked into the fibers of the suspect
article until the next time it is
laundered. Your wife or husband or any sexual partner may be bringing
infidelity evidence home to you without even knowing it. Other acceptable
DNA evidence that may suggest infidelity includes hair samples ideally with the
hair follicle in tact, skin cells, vaginal secretions, a glass with a suspect
lip or fingerprint, stains on car seats or items of clothing and others.
Evaluation of your submitted DNA samples will give you the answers and peace of
mind you deserve. If you wish you can remain anonymous by using an assumed
or pen name as your identifier through the sampling and evaluation process.
