Paternity Fraud Is Preventable

11th February 2009

DNA Testing Five years after his wife left him and took their three-year-old son, John Q. Public received the shock of his life from his child’s doctor. A routine blood test showed the child could not be his biological son. A subsequent DNA test confirmed it and enlightened him to the fact that a simple paternity test after the child was born could have saved him years of needless stress and struggles with his former wife.  John finally got his divorce and he now feels that he should have some choice in how to proceed in supporting this child.  During the child’s lifetime John paid thousands in child support.  John is now unemployed and badly in debt, and he is facing contempt charges for not paying child support since becoming unemployed last year.  John’s thinking is if forensic DNA testing can exonerate convicted criminals, why shouldn’t DNA paternity testing free men like this him from responsibility in cases of court-ordered support for children they didn’t biologically father?  This story is being repeated thousands of times across the globe as men are being named as father of children they did not biologically father.  This brings to mind the old adage: “A stitch in time saves nine”.  Paternity fraud can be prevented!  It is easy to see that a simple paternity test at birth or sometime soon thereafter is much cheaper in the long run to the alternative: paying child support for at least 18 years of a child’s life for a child that you did not father.

At Paternity Express, we offer a myriad of DNA testing from prenatal paternity testing (paternity testing before the baby is born) to paternity testing at birth or anytime thereafter to forensic DNA testing.  Our paternity testing service is not only fast and accurate; it is cheap.
