Determining paternity for an adult child typically involves genetic testing, such as a DNA test, which can confirm biological relationships with a high degree of accuracy. This process usually requires a sample from both the alleged father and the adult child. Legal documentation, such as a court order or consent from the parties involved, may also be necessary depending on jurisdiction. In some cases, historical records, such as birth certificates or acknowledgment of paternity, can provide additional evidence.

Can you tell if the DNA being tested is a woman's or a Man's if the test is just being done for paternity?
Paternity tests typically compare the DNA of the child with the alleged father's DNA to determine paternity. The gender of the child is not relevant in this test, as it focuses on specific genetic markers shared between a potential father and child to determine biological paternity. Therefore, the test does not distinguish between the genders of the individuals involved.
