What is the probability that a paternity test will be correct?

As part of a paternity test it includes a probability value to determine the probability that the man in question is biological father or not. If the probability value is 99.99% and the mother, child and man in question have all been tested then the man is the father. If it is less than that then the man is not the father. It is impossible to get a probability value of 100% unless every man in the world were tested. As it stands a paternity test is as accurate as its probability value. Therefore a paternity test with a probability value of 99.99% has a 99.99% chance of being correct. A paternity test is very accurate and does a great job of showing a childs genetic parents. The test is 99.9% accurate.

does the mother have to give written permission before a man can find out if a child is his thru a paternity test.?

Only a court can order a paternity test. The individual must petition the court first. The court will order the test, which is done under very specific conditions to assure that the right individuals are tested. The mother of a child has no obligation to subject a child to any testing simply based on the request of another person. When the court orders the test, the mother must then comply. The only paternity test a mother must submit the child for is one ordered by a judge. A court-ordered paternity test must be done under specific conditions to assure that the swabs are indeed from the individuals in question and that the results are processed by a lab certified by the courts. The father must petition the court for the test. There will be a hearing and the mother (or guardian) of the child will be instructed of the court order and told how to proceed.

What drugs show up on a DNA drug test?

No. Not unless you are accused of using drugs, and the Judge would let you know that you are going to be drug tested. They tell you when you are to be drug tested, they cant do it without letting you know. Also I have been to court with a friend for custody and the judge called both parents up for a hair folicle test afterwards. Because the mother accused the father of using drugs and the father accused the mother of using drugs, also while she was pregnant. SO no if you are ordered to take a paternity test, or are voluntarilly you will only be tested for the paternity of the child. God bless you and the baby.
