Submit the 'Order Form'
to request the initiation of your specimen
collection appointment scheduling.
You have the choice of using the
BloodDraw™ or GeneSwab™
method of specimen collection. Both are recognized in most
counties for obtaining suitable specimens used in determining
paternity for legal purposes. However, you may want to contact
an attorney in the county you reside in to assure yourself that
you are selecting a suitable method. We require a $200 deposit
prior to having the appointments scheduled. All appointments
will be scheduled within a 30-mile radius from your home or
business. There is an additional $25 fee for each person being
collected outside San Jose, CA, or Salt Lake City, UT, unless
other arrangements are made. If you are not satisfied with the
location or appointment times we provide you with, your
deposit can be refunded. After the appointments have been
made, you will receive the schedule either by fax, mail, telephone,
or email, which ever you prefer, within 48 hours. The alleged father and child's specimens are
required to determine paternity, but we ask that
if the mother is available for collection that she submits her
specimens for analysis as well. Additionally, if the participants
that are being collected are located in different regions we can
set up collection appointments at multiple locations across the
country. There is an additional $25 fee for separate collection
sites. NOTE: if prenatal testing is requested, the name and phone
number of the doctor performing the Amniocentesis or CVS is
required at least 4 days prior to the scheduled procedure.
GeneTree must send the instructions and appropriate materials
to the doctor at least 24 hours before the procedure. |

After collection the specimens will then be sent for
analysis. Results take about two weeks, and will be
provided either by email, telephone, mail or facsimile,
whichever you prefer. A notarized copy will also be
sent, at your request, to the court where the proceedings
are being held. |
