In this case, you need to know what you need in order to check paternity.
You will need
- Choose a laboratory conducting molecular genetic examination;
- Collect DNA Isolation Material

Recognition of paternity, as a rule, imposes certain obligations on a man in relation to a child. This is a joint time and financial assistance to the child. Because of this, many men who are not married to the mother of the child do not always agree to recognize that the child is descended from him. Often these men already have a family and do not want to disclose the details of their private life on the side that led to the birth of a new member of society. And it happens that a man simply doubts and wants to be completely sure that this is his baby. If you want to know if this is exactly your child, you need to conduct a molecular genetic examination, in other words, DNA analysis. If you want to find out this information only for yourself, then you can contact any laboratory where such studies are carried out.

The basis of molecular genetic examination is the knowledge that each person is unique. So absolutely identical genomes do not exist. For close relatives, the picture of the structure of genes, although it will vary, but not by much. But to distinguish the DNA of strangers for an expert is not difficult.
In order to determine the degree of kinship at the genetic level, DNA is used. Usually it is isolated from the blood. If there is no way to collect blood for analysis, then they take other materials - hair, saliva, skin areas.

After carrying out all the necessary procedures, it remains only to wait for the result. The average period for the study is 30-60 days. But in emergency cases, by agreement with the laboratory, the answer can be obtained faster.
note
If a genetic examination is needed to officially establish paternity, a court appointment is required. In this case, the study will be conducted at the forensic bureau.
Useful advice
You can check paternity during pregnancy, if its term is not less than 2 months.
