Knowledge Is Power: Legal vs. Non-Legal

Suspecting a partner of infidelity can be a deeply painful experience. DNA infidelity testing offers a scientifically-based solution to help you uncover the truth. By testing fabric samples from underwear, clothing, or sheets that you provide, our tests can accurately confirm or deny the presence of male or female DNA. We offer two types of infidelity DNA tests, and our experts are here to help you determine which one is right for your needs. Every consultation is free, private, and completely confidential. Please note that infidelity testing is intended for informational purposes only and is not an accredited test, as it does not maintain the legal chain of custody for the submitted samples.

Please note that due to state regulations, testing is not available in Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Vermont.

Our mtDNA test, also known as a maternal lineage test, utilizes mitochondrial analysis to establish your connection to relatives and potential ancestors through the maternal line. This test can also offer valuable insights in situations where maternity is uncertain but the mother is unavailable for a maternity test.

Typically, twins are classified as identical or fraternal by a doctor at birth based on physical observations and placental analysis; however, these methods are not always reliable.

A maternity DNA test confirms whether the tested woman is the biological mother of the child in question. This type of testing operates similarly to a paternity test, except that it compares the child's DNA profile with that of the mother rather than the father. Even in the absence of the father’s DNA, Peace of Mind Paternity's maternity testing services can provide definitive results, conclusively establishing whether the child’s DNA matches that of the mother.

The AABB’s Relationship Testing Accreditation program is the international gold standard for DNA paternity testing laboratories. The program establishes and promotes the highest standards of testing quality and care for patients and clients in all aspects of parentage and other relationship testing. Most courts and other government agencies mandate that DNA tests be performed by AABB-accredited laboratories. DDC received its initial AABB accreditation in 1996 and received AABB’s commendable practice recognition in 2004 for our Dual Process™.

The CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program is recognized by the federal government as being equal to or more stringent that the government’s own laboratory inspection program. DDC has maintained its accreditation under the CAP program since 2004. In addition to on-site laboratory inspection, CAP accreditation requires laboratories to participate in its Proficiency Testing Program in which CAP sends samples to the lab 3 times a year for DNA testing and evaluates the lab’s results. DDC has participated in the proficiency program since 2004 and has had 100% accuracy with the expected relationship interpretation on all surveys.
