Establishing paternity is very simplified these days and can be determined by comparing the DNA of the parties involved. When a child is born, the baby will get half of his DNA from Mom and the other half from Dad. By comparing the baby's DNA to that of its biological mother, any genes inherited from Mom can be eliminated. What remains then are the genes inherited from Dad. Comparing the DNA probes of the child and the alleged father can quickly confirm or deny paternity. If two or more probes do not match, the alleged father is ruled out. A comparison of probes between the three parties (mother, father and child) can establish paternity with 99.9% accuracy.
