Before You Book
Can I use an informational paternity test in court?
Informational testing is intended for personal knowledge, not as legal evidence. Ask the requesting court or attorney what collection and documentation standards apply.
What makes legal paternity testing different?
Legal testing uses documented identity and chain-of-custody procedures. Requirements and acceptance can vary by court, agency, or proceeding, so verify them before ordering.
Does the mother have to participate?
Not always. Participant requirements depend on the test and laboratory. A trio typically includes the mother, child, and alleged father; we'll confirm the appropriate collection arrangement.
Can I walk in for testing?
No. All SKBrown Logistics services are by appointment only.
How long do results take?
Turnaround varies with the laboratory and testing circumstances. You'll receive the applicable timing information when the appointment and test are confirmed.
Do you handle Michigan child-support or DHHS paternity cases?
No. SKBrown Logistics does not accept State of Michigan child-support or Department of Health and Human Services paternity cases.
