Who Needs to Be Tested in a Grandparent DNA Test?
Typically, the child and one or both grandparents participate. Including the mother’s sample improves accuracy but is not mandatory. Learn more about parentage establishment in Ohio from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services – Paternity Establishment.
How Accurate Is a Grandparent DNA Test?

Can a Grandparent Request a Paternity Test?

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. State guidelines at Child Support Services.
Can a Grandparent Do a DNA Test on a Grandchild Without the Parent’s Consent?
