Genetic Testing

If paternity of the child(dren) is at issue, we provide free genetic (DNA) testing.

To obtain this free service:

• Contact DCSS immediately once you are served with the Summons and Complaint.
• Complete the Answer to Complaint or Supplemental Complaint
• Once the Answer is complete, you must file with the Superior Court Business Office.
• After you file the answer, provide a copy to DCSS so we may set up the genetic testing appointment.

Following the genetic test appointment, you will receive:

• Notice of hearing to establish paternity and support
• Results of the paternity test

If you do not dispute the genetic test results or the child support amount on the proposed judgment, call us today to ask us about a stipulated judgment (agreement).
