Grandparent DNA Testing: Frequently Asked Questions (Idaho)
Who Needs to Be Tested in a Grandparent DNA Test?
Typically, the child and one or both grandparents participate. Including the mother's sample can improve the accuracy of the results but is not legally required. Establishment of paternity in Idaho may also involve voluntary acknowledgment or court-ordered genetic testing (Idaho Child Support: Paternity Establishment PDF, Idaho Child Support Fees).
How Accurate Is a Grandparent DNA Test?
Idaho law accepts DNA/paternity tests performed by AABB-accredited labs. A probability of parentage of at least 98% creates a legal presumption of paternity in Idaho court (Idaho Statute §16‑1513: Presumption of Parentage, PaternityUSA: Idaho DNA Law).
Can a Grandparent Request a Paternity Test?
Yes, grandparents and family members can request genetic testing by filing a petition or a “Motion for Genetic Testing” to the Idaho courts (Idaho Court Self Help Genetic Testing Form PDF). In contested cases or if the Department of Health and Welfare is a party, genetic testing may be ordered by the court.
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?
Legal DNA testing for minors for use in Idaho courts requires parental or guardian consent. At-home tests do not require such consent but are not admissible in court (Idaho Rules of Family Law Procedure PDF, Idaho Child Support: FAQs).
How Much Does a Legal Grandparent DNA Test Cost in Idaho?
Legal grandparent tests in Alabama 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 results are inconclusive, the lab or court may order additional testing, including more relatives (both grandparents, mother) until a clear probability is reached. Motion for Genetic Testing instructions.
