Which Relationship Test Do You Need?

Each test serves a different purpose. Every appointment begins with a consultation — we confirm the correct test for your situation before anything is scheduled.

01

Maternity Testing

Confirms Biological Motherhood

Maternity testing establishes whether a woman is the biological mother of a child. It is less commonly requested than paternity testing but serves an important role in specific legal and personal circumstances.

Adoption verification and biological family reunification
Hospital mix-up concerns
Official matters requiring documented proof of biological motherhood
Estate and inheritance matters
Surrogacy-related confirmation
Starting at $595 + $60 mobile fee
02

Siblingship Testing

Full or Half Sibling Analysis

Siblingship testing determines the probability that two individuals share one or both biological parents. Results are expressed as a statistical probability — not a definitive yes or no — and the analysis is stronger when a parent is also tested.

Estate and inheritance disputes when a parent is deceased
Official matters requiring documented proof of a sibling relationship
Family reunification after separation or adoption
Personal confirmation of biological relationship
Starting at $595 + $60 mobile fee
03

Grandparentage Testing

Alternative to Paternity Testing

Grandparentage testing establishes a biological relationship between a child and one or both of the alleged father's parents. It is used when the alleged father is unavailable, deceased, or unwilling to participate in paternity testing.

Paternity cases where the alleged father is deceased
Estate and inheritance matters involving grandchildren
Official matters when biological grandparentage documentation is required
Child support or custody matters involving deceased parent

Know Before You Book

Legal Testing vs. Personal Knowledge Testing.

All three relationship tests are available in both legal and personal knowledge formats. The right choice depends entirely on how you intend to use the results.

Personal Knowledge

Private Results

Choose personal knowledge testing when results are for your own information only and no legal proceeding is involved or anticipated.

  • Same laboratory accuracy as legal testing
  • No chain-of-custody documentation required
  • No ID verification required
  • Results handled privately and confidentially
  • Results not court-admissible

When These Tests Are Used

Common Situations We Help With.

◎

Estate & Inheritance

When a biological relationship must be established to determine inheritance rights — particularly when the connecting parent is deceased and direct paternity testing is not possible.

◈

Official Documentation

Relationship testing may be requested when an agency, institution, or other authority requires documented proof of a biological relationship. We confirm the testing and documentation requirements before scheduling.

◇

Family Reunification

For individuals separated by adoption, migration, or family circumstance who are seeking biological confirmation of a family relationship for personal knowledge or official purposes.

The Process

Simple. Structured. Private.

Every relationship test follows the same clear process — from consultation through results delivery.

01

Consultation

Contact us first. We confirm which test is appropriate for your situation, whether legal or personal knowledge testing is needed, and who needs to be tested. We answer every question before you commit.

02

Scheduling

We coordinate collection at an appropriate private location based on the circumstances of the case and the parties being tested. Weekend and after-hours appointments are available upon request.

03

Intake & Consent

For legal testing, the required identity verification, consent documentation, and chain-of-custody paperwork are completed before collection begins.

04

Sample Collection

Buccal cheek swabs are collected from all required parties. For some relationship tests, including both parents where possible strengthens the statistical result. We advise on this during consultation.

05

Laboratory Analysis

Legal relationship testing is processed through an AABB-accredited relationship-testing laboratory. Results include the laboratory's statistical analysis appropriate to the relationship being evaluated.

06

Results Delivery

Results are delivered according to the laboratory and case requirements within the applicable turnaround window. Legal results include the applicable chain-of-custody and laboratory documentation.

Questions & Answers

Relationship Testing — FAQ.

Do all parties need to be present at the same time?
Not necessarily. In some cases we can coordinate separate collection appointments for different parties. Contact us before scheduling to discuss logistics — we will confirm what is possible for your specific test.
Is siblingship testing as conclusive as paternity testing?
Siblingship results are expressed as a probability — not a definitive yes or no. The statistical strength of the result is significantly improved when one or both parents are also tested. We advise on this during your consultation.
Can grandparentage testing replace paternity testing?
Grandparentage testing may provide useful biological relationship information when a parent is unavailable or deceased. Whether it is appropriate for a legal, estate, or other official matter depends on the requirements of the requesting court, agency, or institution. Contact us so we can confirm the appropriate testing strategy.
What if one party refuses to participate?
Testing generally requires the required consent and authorization from the individuals participating in the test. If someone is unwilling or unavailable to participate, contact us so we can determine whether another relationship-testing option may be appropriate. Questions involving compelled testing should be discussed with the requesting court or legal counsel.
Can relationship testing be used for official or administrative purposes?
Potentially. Relationship DNA results may be requested for legal, administrative, or other official purposes. Requirements vary by agency or institution, so contact us before scheduling and we will confirm the appropriate testing and documentation process.
Can testing be done if one party is deceased?
In some cases, yes. Postmortem DNA coordination may be available depending on sample availability. Alternatively, relationship testing through living biological relatives may provide additional options for evaluating the biological relationship. Contact us to discuss the specifics of your situation.
How many people need to be tested?
It depends on the test type. Maternity testing typically requires the mother and child. Siblingship testing requires both alleged siblings, and ideally one parent. Grandparentage testing requires the child and one or both grandparents. We confirm exactly who needs to be tested during your consultation.
How do I know which test is right for my situation?
Every test begins with a consultation. Contact us first and we will confirm the right test for your situation, the correct format — legal or personal — and exactly who needs to be included. No appointment is scheduled until everything is confirmed.
