Child Custody DNA Testing

Documented paternity testing that helps parents and courts resolve custody questions with facts.

Overview

Who Child Custody DNA Testing is for

Custody and visitation decisions shape a child's everyday life. When parentage is uncertain or disputed, a documented DNA test can bring the facts into focus.

We support parents in Lebanon, Tennessee through custody related testing with clear steps and a steady, respectful approach.

Putting the child's future on solid ground

A custody matter may raise questions about biological parentage. Documented testing can provide relationship evidence for review, but a DNA report does not decide custody, parenting time or a child's best interests. Those questions require the appropriate legal process. Ask your attorney which testing documentation is needed before arranging collection.
