Grandparent DNA Testing: Frequently Asked Questions (Arkansas)
Who Needs to Be Tested in a Grandparent DNA Test?
Typically, the test includes the child and one or both grandparents. Including the mother’s DNA increases accuracy but is not mandatory. In Arkansas, grandparents may petition for DNA testing under the Arkansas Code §9‑10‑108, which governs genetic testing for paternity and related family cases. For official guidance, visit the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration – Office of Child Support Enforcement and review Arkansas Legal Code on Genetic Testing.
How Accurate Is a Grandparent DNA Test?
DNA testing using both grandparents (and ideally the mother) produces 99%+ statistical accuracy when conducted by an AABB-accredited lab. Legal tests performed under chain-of-custody are admissible in Arkansas family courts. See more about legal testing standards in Arkansas Genetic Testing for Paternity.
Can a Grandparent Request a Paternity Test?
Yes. Grandparents may request a DNA test if the father is unavailable or deceased, or when proving or disproving a family relationship for inheritance, medical, or custody reasons. Tests are usually initiated through the Arkansas Family Court system or by filing a petition for genetic testing. Learn more through the Arkansas Judiciary Court System and Arkansas Legal Aid – Family Law Resources.
How Long Does It Take to Receive the Test Results?
Results are typically available within 5 business days after samples reach the lab. Expedited options may be available for faster turnaround times.
Can a Grandparent Do a DNA Test on a Grandchild Without the Parent’s Consent?
In Arkansas, parental consent is required to test minors for legal use in court or state-administered cases. At-home tests may be completed without consent, but they are not admissible in court. For official requirements, refer to Arkansas Code §9‑10‑108(c).
How Much Does a Legal Grandparent DNA Test Cost in Arkansas?
Legal grandparent tests in Arkansas typically cost between $400 and $499, depending on additional services like expedited results.
Can Grandparents Use DNA Testing for Immigration Cases?
Yes! Many immigration cases require proof of familial relationships through grandparent testing when direct parentage testing isn’t possible. Our AABB-accredited labs meet all USCIS requirements.
What Happens If My Grandparent DNA Test Results Are Inconclusive?
Occasionally, insufficient shared genetic markers may produce inconclusive results. Adding more relatives—such as both grandparents or the child’s mother—can enhance accuracy. For legal cases under Arkansas jurisdiction, follow state court DNA retesting procedures or consult legal counsel.
