In the United States legal paternity tests usually cost anywhere from $300-$500 (some states might be lower or higher, that’s just the norm). Non-legal paternity tests (the ones you can buy at Walgreens or order online) are usually anywhere from $30-$200. If you’re wanting it for custody/child support/parental rights then you need to have a legal one. If it’s just for peace of mind, a home testing kit is fine.

600 dollars at a clinic

You can buy them at walmart. Anywhere for 20-300. Had a family member do a $20 one. It came back as the same results as the court ordered one. That’s just my experience.

Depends on where you go I think. My husband got one on my son for $219. My husband is black and I’m white and my son came out very light and his family had doubts so we got one to shut them up lol!

We were in San Antonio TX

My dad did mine for $500, we sent it to Aussie and came back about 2 weeks later

If you get it court ordered the courts will pay for it.

You can always go through ancestry.com, it will tell you if someone is the parent, its how my mom found out about 3 sisters she never knew about…

Wouldn’t need one if you didn’t open your legs for every guy.

Tracy Gabrielle Lopez Pajes ma.ordwe ta sa amazon?? Hahah

CVS or Walgreens 40$

Depends if it’s a peace of mind one or legal one. In Australia if U get one from bioservices it costs nothing over the counter for peace of mind, but $300 ordered online. Can split tests up n only pay when U submit samples.
If court ordered it’s more, the one that asks for it usually pays and U both have to have it taken by same technician

Depends on where you live and state requirements. Some states you can do a non legal paternity test (can’t be used in a court case), gets sent to your home and you send it back, and some places like NYS it HAS to be a legal one that can be used in court and you have to go to a lab to have the test done. You can call a dna testing place and they should be able to let you know what the state will allow you to do.

A legal DNA paternity test typically costs between $300 to $500. A non-legal test starts at $30, (kit) and in total will cost $250.

In Colorado, I went through the State of Colorado for Child Support Services and it was free.

It’ll cost you a headache for life! Child Support Dept covers cost if demand for child support is filed

Court ordered can be a few hundred, there’s one at the drug store for less but unsure how reliable.

Idk the cost, it think it was $150. In my case daddio didn’t show up when baby was born and when I went to collect child support they needed a paternity test. They told me it didn’t matter how many people got tested… who ever is the positive parent has to pay the cost of the test. :woman_shrugging:t2:

Call maury or steve wilkos u get the test and a vaca

400 if you want a legal document DNA test. Which is notorized and can be used in court. 150 (around that price for a piece of mind test). Which cannot be used in court so if you went to court you will need another one.

You can get them online in a box for like fifty bucks. Just Swab and mail it is

You could ask Maury he might do it for free

Why did you chose to go bare back with more then 1 guy and why should the unlucky one pay??

You can get a paternity test at CVS or Walgreens for about $150. You buy it, then mail the sample to a lab. Or you can do an Ancestry.com test. Just note that both of these will not hold up in court. Only the court tests will be.

Through court, it costs roughly $0-$100 (buy that comes with lots of unnecessary conflict). Online, you’re looking anywhere from $100-$300.
