Determine your paternity, even at 40
Earlier this month, a much contested paternity question in the UK was answered.
79-year-old Diana Northcott announced that one of her two sons, David, was not the biological child of her husband. If her claim were proven true, David would be cut out of his paternal grandfather’s inheritance of more than $600,000. Diana sought a paternity test for David and his godfather, respected doctor and former head of the British Medical Association (BMA) John Havard. Diana claimed that she approached Havard 40 years ago, telling him that she was in a terrible marriage, that her husband was infertile, and that she wanted a sibling her for only child, Adrian. Havard publicly dismissed her claim that he fathered David, repeating on numerous occasions that Diana was a “fantasist.”
After months of protest, the 83-year-old Havard consented to a paternity test only after he conferred with David. Paternity DNA tests proved that Havard is David’s biological father. 40 years of lies were over.

Because DNA does not change over time, a simple paternity test was able to accurately and quickly identify Havard as David’s father more than 40 years after he met Diana. DNA testing is not confined to a single age group or time period: DNA testing can be performed on anyone of any age, even before birth.
