Am I your father or not?

Paternity tests are sold in British pharmacies
Express NewspaperPreviously, British fathers could dispel possible doubts only through the court.

Now anyone over the age of 16 for 160 pounds (about $ 250) can independently conduct a test.

The kit contains detailed instructions and everything you need to collect swabs from the oral cavity of the father, mother and child. In sterile containers, saliva samples are sent to the laboratory, which gives a conclusion after five days. The most impatient can pay twice as much and get the result in a day. The test manufacturer promises that in each specific case, when reporting the result, it will take into account the interests of the child. Experts reacted to this statement skeptically. In their opinion, it is almost impossible to study the nuances of each situation in which the test is conducted. And psychological trauma to the child is provided in any case.

And a person who considered himself a father and made a test out of simple curiosity, in case of a negative result, it will not be easy.

In Russia, to determine paternity, you still need to go to the laboratory. But not necessarily by court order. However, if you do the test on your own initiative, the expert opinion will not have legal force. And it is useless to present it in court in case of any disputes. However, lawyers advise in case of doubt to make a preliminary examination. And, having been convinced of his rightness, go to court to demand a DNA analysis. The cost of the procedure in Moscow centers ranges from 12,000 to 25,000 rubles.
