Science has advanced tremendously in the past half century. In fact, in the past couple of decades science has been able to determine much with DNA. In the past, there was not a test that could determine paternity, but modern science has produced a paternity test that is virtually 99% accurate.

Human DNA is unique, and science can make determinations based on this incredible science. An accurate paternity test is important for many reasons. First, the child deserves to know who their biological father is. In many cases, a child learns many years later who their actual parent is and this causes problems. Much emotional damage can be done to a child that does not know this information. Second, financial responsibility is able to be assigned with an accurate paternity test. More children are in poverty than ever before. This is senseless. Oftentimes, these children are in single-parent homes where the mother is the provider, so the child does not have the benefit of a father’s provision.

As a result, the government must provide financial support to these families. A paternity test can make the responsible party financially responsible. The number of single-parent households has increased in the past couple of decades. This social issue causes many problems. For example, a home that has only one parent providing is an opportunity for children to be unsupervised. The single parent must work and be away from the home frequently. This provides too much time for the child to be unsupervised. Also, the parent that is providing is often tired, so the parent is not able to devote as much attention to the child.

Additionally, the paternity test is also a good way to eliminate fraud. Some mothers blame paternity on the wrong man. Good men end up paying child support on children that are not biologically related to them. Therefore, it is a good idea to perform a paternity test to determine the actual father of the child. Numerous fathers have determined that the child did not belong to them. In some cases, the court will order repayment of monies received by these women.

Men also have the ability to perform a paternity test on the child. There are home paternity test kits available. The child and man can have their DNA samples taken in the privacy of a home. The test only takes a few minutes and the test is pretty reliable.
