Grandparent DNA Testing: Frequently Asked Questions (Colorado)
Who Needs to Be Tested in a Grandparent DNA Test?
Usually, the child and one or both grandparents are tested. Including the mother’s sample further boosts accuracy but is not legally required. In Colorado, genetic tests for parentage must involve all pertinent parties as ordered by the court or child support agency. See Colorado Child Support Services: Parentage & Genetic Testing and Colorado Revised Statutes §13-25-126 for full legal requirements.
How Accurate Is a Grandparent DNA Test?
Legal grandparent DNA tests in Colorado are handled by AABB-accredited labs and yield >99% accuracy. Tests are admissible in court when completed under a proper chain-of-custody process. See Colorado Uniform Parentage Act (PDF) and State Regulation: 9 CCR 2504-1-6.605 Genetic Testing.
Can a Grandparent Request a Paternity Test?
Yes, a grandparent or interested party may request the court to order DNA tests if needed to legally establish parentage (for inheritance, support, or custody reasons). The court, a child support agency, or district attorney’s office may order testing as outlined in Colorado Revised Statutes §13-25-126 and Parentage FAQ (PDF).
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?
For legal/court-admissible DNA testing, parental or legal guardian consent is required to test a minor. At-home tests do not require explicit consent, but their results will not be legally admissible. See Colorado Court Self-Help – Paternity Information (PDF) and CRS Title 14 - Domestic Matters 2024.
How Much Does a Legal Grandparent DNA Test Cost in Colorado?
Legal grandparent tests in Colorado 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?
If there are insufficient matched markers, adding more participants (both grandparents or the mother) is recommended. The court may order additional tests per Colorado Revised Statutes §13-25-126.
