Frequently Asked Questions About Nevada DNA Testing
How Do I Get a Court-Ordered Paternity Test in NV?
A family court judge issues court-ordered paternity testing in Nevada. The mother or alleged father must file a paternity petition form with the family court. Once accepted, an order for a paternity test will be issued.
How Long Does a Court-Ordered Paternity Test Take in Nevada?
Court-ordered DNA tests generally take 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the court’s workload. Tests performed privately outside of family court average 2 to 3 working days.
Can I do DNA testing with father and child only in Nevada?
Yes, you can do DNA testing with only a father and child in Nevada through Secure DNA Tests.
Secure DNA Tests performs paternity testing without requiring the mother’s DNA sample. The test determines paternity with high accuracy using father and child samples only.
The Nebraska Family Support Division also provides this service as an alternative option. Court-ordered DNA tests typically include all three parties, but private testing through Secure DNA Tests offers flexibility for father-child only testing.
Tests without the mother’s DNA maintain reliability for establishing paternity, though accuracy may be slightly reduced compared to three-person tests.
Can paternity testing be done without the mother knowing in Nevada?
Paternity testing can be performed without the mother’s knowledge under the following circumstances.
- Unmarried fathers whose name is on the child’s birth certificate under the age of 18 can perform both legal and non-legal tests without the mother’s knowledge.
- Married men can perform a paternity test without the mother knowing.
Non-legal DNA tests do not require a chain of custody to be established, making it possible to perform paternity testing without the mother’s participation. Please note: We recommend that the mother participate in the DNA testing process for both legal and non-legal tests to help ensure effective communication between parents.
What is the difference between legal and non-legal DNA tests?
Below are the differences between peace of mind and legal DNA tests.
Legal Testing:
A Legal DNA Test is relationship tests that requires the establishment of a chain of custody, DNA samples collect by trained DNA sample collector and the specimens collect will be tested by a partner AABB accredited DNA testing laboratory. The accreditation ensures your results will be recognized by family courts and immigration agencies nationwide.

- Child Custody
- Establish the paternity of a child

Non-legal Testing:
Non legal DNA tests are genetic tests that are performed for informational purposes only. The results from a non-legal peace of mind DNA tests are not legally admissible documents because they do not require a chain of custody.
All DNA samples submitted to the laboratory are tested and analyzed the same way as legal DNA tests. Call 888-970-4211 to schedule an appointment in Montana or to purchase a home DNA test kit.
