Can any one tell me what a DNA test would cost.?

Question

gotta get it done to have proof positive that all pieces fit

Answer 1

A legal, court ordered test cost me $630 a couple months ago.

The take home tests cannot be used in court. For court you need a test that has a 'chain of custody'.

Answer 2

My son payed 500 dollars , but he also wanted the foot prints checked. Don't do a home DNA because it might not be able to be used in court.  They take pictures of who is getting DNA done. It still took the court 3 months  for the courts to adjudicated him as the father.

Answer 3

The ones you get in the stores only compare a small piece of dna, just enough to say you might be related to someone, no matter how remotely, if you want proof positive, you will have to go through a lab.

That said, Dna tests run from about $300-$600 if you go to the lab. You can get a home kit to send to the lab and taht way is cheaper but longer to get the results

Unfortunately the only reason a court will pay for it is for child support purposes after you've already broken up

Answer 4

Here they are $250. For what you need the mail away type might be best. You wait longer for results but the price is far lower.

Good luck, I hope you are able to get the answers you need soon.

Answer 5

go to Rite Aid they have tests there. I think they are about thrity dollars or something

Answer 6

There's no need for a DNA test; you just have to meet with the person you're comparing DNA to and you both think of a number between 1 and 100. If your within 10 of each others number it means you're related, like cousins. If you're within 1 or your numbers match, then you are parent and child or siblings. This is much more effective than DNA testing and it will hold up better in court.

Answer 7

You can buy a home DNA test at Meijer, I about flipped when I found coupon for a home DNA test, I didn't know they existed until about a month ago.

Answer 8

Try googling it. :)

Answer 9

FAR OUT in Australia its $950 to have a sibling one done

Answer 10

usually between 1-200$

Answer 11

If child support does it its $600, other than that I don't know.

Answer 12

I had one done in 1997.

Then it was $321 per person and three people needed to be tested ( me, baby & daddy) I had to fron the cost for me & baby and the father had to fron his share. With the stipulation that if it returned negative, I had to suck up my loss and reimburse him. And if positive he had to pay me back.

In order for it to come back positive I was told it had to be 95% or higher for the courts to see it as him being the father. Mine came back 99.89% positive

Since then prices have come down considerably & last I heard they were about $300 for everyone.

Personally I wouldnt trust some at home test, especially if your trying to establish paternity for the courts. I would only deal with a good reputable lab

Answer 13

well, medically theyre pretty pricey, maybe 2 or 300.

If it's one you need for the court to get child support, I believe the court will pay.. those can be about 800.

Good luck
