Legal vs. Informational Paternity Testing: Choosing the Right Option
Not every paternity test serves the same purpose, and choosing the right type from the start matters. We offer two distinct options.
Court-Admissible Legal Testing
When results need to hold up in a courtroom or satisfy a government agency, a legal paternity test is required. These tests follow strict chain-of-custody procedures, documenting every step from sample collection to lab analysis. Legal tests are commonly used for child support proceedings, custody disputes, immigration cases, and similar official matters.
Non-Legal Informational Testing
When you want personal answers rather than official documentation, a non-legal informational test provides the same DNA analysis at a lower cost. These results are for your own knowledge and aren’t submitted to a court or agency.
Not sure which option fits your situation? Our staff can help you choose based on any instructions from your attorney, caseworker, or other authority. If someone has told you to get a paternity test, bring those instructions and we can make sure you leave with the right paperwork.

Establishing Paternity in Kentucky
Under Kentucky law, when a child is born to married parents, the husband is automatically presumed to be the legal father. For unmarried parents, paternity must be established through one of two routes: both parents sign a Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity, or a court decides the matter through a formal paternity case.
In Fayette County, the Fayette Circuit Court’s Family Court Division handles paternity cases alongside custody, support, and visitation matters. When paternity is disputed, a court can order genetic testing to resolve the question. In those situations, a legal paternity test with proper chain-of-custody documentation is generally required.
Once you know which path applies to your family, scheduling your test with us is straightforward.
