Overview

Testing both of an alleged father's parents alongside the child and the mother gives the most conclusive grandparentage result possible. Including the mother lets the lab subtract the child's maternal DNA so the analysis focuses on what could have been inherited from the paternal side.

This is a private, peace-of-mind test. Results are reported as a relationship likelihood, and it is not chain-of-custody or admissible in court.

What you get

  • Cheek swabs for four participants (both grandparents, child, mother)
  • Step-by-step illustrated instructions
  • Pre-addressed return mailer or FedEx label
  • A private results report with a relationship likelihood by email

Accuracy & methodology

Including both grandparents and the mother yields the strongest grandparentage analysis, often approaching the conclusiveness of a direct paternity test. Results are reported as a combined relationship index and probability. Testing is performed by our accredited partner laboratory.

Testing is performed by our AABB-accredited partner laboratory.

Your privacy & trust

Your privacy matters to us, and DNA information is among the most sensitive personal data there is.

  • Samples are used only to perform the test you ordered and are destroyed after testing is complete. <!-- TODO: confirm exact sample-retention window with fulfillment lab before publishing -->
  • Results are delivered privately by email and are never sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing.
  • Your DNA data is treated as sensitive personal information. While at-home, informational tests are generally not covered by HIPAA, we handle your results with comparable care.
  • You can request deletion of your records at any time by contacting us.

Frequently asked questions

Why include the mother?
Her DNA lets the lab remove the child's maternal contribution, so the analysis can focus on the paternal side. This produces a stronger, clearer result.
Is this admissible in court?
No. It is a peace-of-mind, informational test and cannot be used for legal matters.

Need a legal DNA test?

Need results for a custody case, child support, immigration, or any other legal matter? An at-home test cannot be used for those purposes. You'll need a court-approved, chain-of-custody DNA test performed through an accredited laboratory, where a neutral third party verifies every participant's identity and handles the samples.
