Annoying Paternity Test Question
Never in a million years did I ever think I’d be asking this question, or anything pertaining to this question!
I have been ordered to undergo a paternity test, along with my baby and his “father”. I’ve been doing a lot of reading about them, and I am really confused because I have found a lot of conflicting information.
Basically, what I understand is the results can come back 0%, 99% or 99.9999% (or 100%). From what I’ve read, if it comes back even 99% conclusive, it still does not mean that the person is the father. So, basically it has to come back 99.99% conclusive to be considered a true match, right?
I guess my question is this – If the tests come back only 99% conclusive, does that mean that the “father” of my child has no legal rights to him? And I can walk away from him at that point in time?
Save the “two parents in your life” lecture, please. I’d rather my son had no father than the father that is in the picture.

Hi there. So sorry you are having a difficult time right now.
For information on what these differences mean (the 99.99% etc), you can read this article. http://www.dnacenter.com/paternity-blog/understanding-your-paternity-test-results.html.
You can get a legal paternity test that will be 99.99% or higher through DDC. DDC guarantees that the results will be 99.99% or greater (if there is a match) as long as the mom, father and child are all three tested. The guarantee is shown and explained here: http://www.dnacenter.com/paternity/legal-testing.html
If you do decide to call, ALL calls/inquiries are completely confidential so no worries there.
I hope this info helps. Good luck to you.
