→Parentage tests
The DNA of a child is a combination of the DNA of the child's mother and father. DNA tests compare the child's DNA to that of the father and mother, and provide a calculation of the odds that the man is the child's father. Because of the accuracy of DNA testing, a positive result will prove extremely convincing to a court. Unless you have a doctorate in genetics or convincing proof that a sample was tampered with, I don't recommend that you challenge the results of a DNA test. Save your money.
A number of companies in serving British Columbia, such as [http://www.genetrackcanada.com Genetrack Biolabs], [httphttps://www.thednalab.com Maxxam AnalyticsThe DNALAB], and [http://www.pro-adn.com Orchid PRO-DNA], will perform legally admissible paternity tests at a cost of between around $400 and 480 to $800 500, plus taxes, for one child and an alleged father, with additional costs for more children or alleged fathers. For tests usable in a legal proceeding, the labs will require each person contributing samples to attend in person at an authorized sample collection location.
