ABOUT PATERNITY & RELATIONSHIP TESTING

ABOUT PATERNITY & RELATIONSHIP TESTING G enQuest   offers   relationship   testing   to   prove   paternity,   maternity,   and   other   family   relationships. Our   court   admissible   tests   can   be   used   for   many   legal   reasons   and   for   US   Embassies,   US Citizenship   and   Immigration   Services,   and   other   US   Government   agency   purposes.   For   more information   about   how   our   tests   can   be   used   for   US   Government   agency   purposes,   please   visit GenQuest   Immigration .   Visit   our   Types   of   Relationships    page   to   find   out   about   the   types   of relationships GenQuest can test. PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE Personal   Knowledge   tests   are   ideal   for   individuals   who   just   need   to   know   for   peace   of   mind. Although    these    tests    do    not    fall    under    the    scope    of    GenQuest’s    AABB    accreditation,    and therefore   the   results   of   such   tests   cannot   be   used   in   a   court   of   law,   the   samples   follow   the   same stringent   testing   process   as   court   admissible   test   samples   and   are   treated   exactly   the   same   in   the laboratory   environment.   Sample   collection   for   Personal   Knowledge   tests   can   be   done   in   the comfort   of   your   own   home,   and   these   tests   are   affordable   and   easy   to   order.   To   order   a   Personal Knowledge test, please visit our Order  page. COURT ADMISSIBLE Court   Admissible   tests   follow   all   guidelines   and   standards   for   relationship   testing   as   set   forth   by the   AABB   accrediting   body   and   are   performed   for   legal   purposes   such   as   to   add   or   remove   a potential   father   from   a   birth   certificate,   to   obtain   or   end   child   support   payments,   or   for   custody purposes.   Collections   must   be   performed   by   an   unbiased   third   party.   GenQuest   can   arrange DNA   collections   all   over   the   US,   and   if   any   participants   reside   in   the   Reno/Sparks   area   of Nevada,   they   can   come   to   the   GenQuest   facility   in   Sparks   for   a   free   collection.   To   begin   the process   for   a   Court   Admissible   test,   please   visit   our   Order    page   or   contact   GenQuest   to   discuss your testing needs. GenQuest   does   not   have   any   authority   to   require   anyone   to   be   included   in   a   DNA   test.   If   any other   participant(s)   refuse   to   be   involved,   GenQuest   cannot   proceed   with   testing   and   you   may need   to   obtain   a   court   order.   However,   GenQuest   does   accept   Nonstandard   Samples    for   personal knowledge   tests   if   you   have   access   to   anything   that   has   been   handled   by   the   other   participant(s). Visit    our    Identification    and    Infidelity     page    for    more    information.    For    information    on    how GenQuest    accepts    nonstandard    samples    for    court    admissible    tests,    please    visit    our    Estate Protection  or Legal Forensics  pages.
