Testing More Than One Possible Father
If you need a paternity test to confirm who the father of your child is, and you have more than one possible father to test, Beta Paternity can help.
You have two main options in this situation.
1. Test both alleged fathers. You can collect DNA samples from both alleged fathers and test them against the child. The samples do not have to be collected at the same time, but please let us know that there is an additional alleged father when you order a paternity test. We will send you a kit that includes swabs for the additional party. This way, our laboratory can test both alleged fathers as soon as samples from all tested parties arrive at the laboratory.
2. Test one alleged father against the child. Take a second paternity test if needed. Your second option is to test one alleged father against the child at a time. If the first tested man is excluded as the father (as indicated by a 0% probability of paternity), you can order a second paternity test with a different possible father.
With the first option, you will need to pay the regular test fee plus $150 for the additional alleged father. With the second option, you will need to pay the regular fee for each test you order.
Please note: If the alleged fathers are related as full brothers, half brothers, or father and son, you must let us know when ordering your test, regardless of which option you choose. Men who are closely related will have similar DNA profiles, so we will need to perform extended testing to ensure that the results we report are accurate and conclusive.
