When it comes to legal matters like child custody, child support, immigration, or inheritance disputes, accuracy and credibility are everything. That’s where court-admissible DNA testing comes in. Unlike at-home DNA kits or informational tests, a legal DNA test follows a strict chain of custody process that ensures results are verifiable and legally defensible in court.


What Makes a DNA Test “Court-Admissible”?


Court-admissible testing must meet specific federal and state requirements. This includes:


  • Verified Identification: Each participant must present valid government-issued ID.

  • Chain of Custody Documentation: From collection to laboratory testing, every step is recorded to confirm there’s been no tampering.

  • Accredited Laboratory Analysis: Samples are tested in a CLIA-certified and AABB-accredited lab to guarantee the highest accuracy.

  • Neutral Third-Party Collection: A certified DNA collector—like our technicians at

    LaRoc Precision Testing—performs the collection and handles all documentation properly.

These standards make the results legally valid for family court, immigration, and other official proceedings.


Why This Matters


In family law, a court-admissible DNA test can determine paternity with over 99.99% accuracy, establishing rights and responsibilities for both parents. For immigration, DNA proof can support visa or citizenship applications when paper records are incomplete. And in estate or inheritance cases, DNA testing can help confirm biological relationships for legal claims.


When the outcome affects your family, your future, or your finances, you need results that stand up under scrutiny. Court-admissible DNA testing gives you peace of mind and legal protection.
