What is tested in a paternity test?
A paternity test is a relatively new scientific development which allows the biological father of a child to be correctly identified. With this technology available, there is no reason to leave the question of paternity unanswered. A great deal of emotional trauma and even legal problems are easily avoidable due to the paternity test. Benefits of Determining Paternity Identifying the father of a child with a paternity test is beneficial to both the father and mother. It allows the father an opportunity to know for certain whether a child is his, and allows him to petition a court for rights to visit the child. It also allows the mother to request that the court require the father to offer financial support for the child. How Does Paternity Testing Work Every human cell contains DNA. This DNA is used during a paternity test to determine if a particular person is the parent of the child in question or not. Each person has a unique set of DNA that is directly linked to the DNA of their parents. When the DNA of the child, mother and presumed father are all compared, paternity is determined when enough pieces match. When can Paternity Testing be Done A paternity test can be accurately performed either during pregnancy or after the birth of a child. Pre-natal paternity tests involve retrieving a sample of DNA from the unborn child or from the placenta. This method does involve a small degree of risk. A paternity test can be more easily performed after the birth. This test involves taking a small tissue sample by swabbing the inside of the cheek with a cotton swab. Testing can also be carried out through the use of blood or other tissue samples. Once all required samples have been collected, they are sent to a lab for comparison. At-home paternity test kits are available for purchase and use in the privacy of the home. These test kits utilize the cheek swab method of sample collection. The samples are then sent to the lab and results are usually available in as little as three days.

Why is paternity important?
Once paternity has been established, the father may then choose to pursue custody of the child and/or visitation. In this instance, he will also be required to pay child support and can also request that he be granted joint legal custody so that he can have a say in how the child is raised. If granted, issues such as medical care, education and religion must now be decided jointly between the two parents. In addition, established paternity means that the mother cannot pursue adoption proceedings with a new husband without the biological father's consent. Should the father choose not to have any contact with the child, he can terminate his parental rights through the court.
If you're on welfare and you say plus signed documents that you don't know who your child's father is can the state use your telephone records without your consent to try and find the father?
In my opinion, they would have to subpoena the telephone company for those records. Which they should, plus have mandatory paternity testing at birth.
How do you get a court ordered DNA test if the other parent doesn't want it and all you know is his first and last name?
In the UK if a man refuses a Paternity test (DNA test), the CSA (Child Support Agency) will make him automatically liable for paying for the upkeep of a child until it is proven that he is not the father by him taking the test, I don't know how this would work in other countries, perhaps some others could come forward and say?
Does a man have any right to ask for a paternity test if he's not on the child's birth certificate?
I would say yes. I don't think you even need to ask permission, just take a swab of the child's mouth and of yours is all it takes now days.
If a drug store test or say a privately conducted paternity test is accurate and uses the same science and technology as a validated test why is it still not considered admissible in a court of law?
These tests performed privately are not at the behest of a court order and lack they just lack the sample documentation that would allow them to be admissible in a paternity case and hence not considered as being validated. These tests are usually referred to as curiosity paternity tests and are done at the request of the consenting parties.
What if your ex want to have a child with you and used no protection often now he denys its his child cause you sex another man what should you say to convince him its his and make him marry you?
Even if your ex is the father, there is no way you can get him to marry you, unless he chooses to. If you have already have had your baby, you need to have a paternity test done on the child, screened with the DNA of both of the possible fathers. If you are still pregnant, you need to talk to an attorney about having this test done as soon as the baby is born. Regardless of denials, the biological father of the child should be held responsible for child support.
In the state of TN who gets custody if the parents were never married?
The welfare of the child should be the main issue. The best parent or maybe both paremts should have custody. Who is to say that one parent is better than the other with out prove of child abuse. During custody battles, the parents are so wrapped up in themselves that the children are not actually considered. the mother has sole custody if she is not married, a father has many more rights if the child has his last name, or if he is named on the birth certificate. However, if an unmarried mother has a child who has the father's last name and she gets the child taken from her by the state, the father would actually have to file a custody petition in order to try and get custody. Nothing is automaticly in his favor there.
