How should I prepare for a paternity testing?

There is nothing particular to prepare for a paternity testing except for your presence at the doctor's office. More infomation can be find here: http://stanford.wellsphere.com/wellpage/paternity-testing-preparation. Paternity tests are done by examining DNA, which is obtained under supervision from the child and the parent. After the DNA is examined, a percentage of likelihood is determined. DNA is an objective matter. There is nothing you can do to change or alter it. There is nothing you do to "prepare" for the simple swab that will be collected.
