Children are one of life’s most precious gifts, and we all do everything we can to protect them and help them grow into compassionate and responsible adults. Unfortunately, almost 40% of all American births are to unwed mothers, and far too many children grow up without a father living in the home. It’s always disappointing when a father isn’t willing to be a regular part of his children’s lives, but our team at First Choice proudly offers legally binding paternity testing services to hold deadbeat fathers accountable!

We’re Arkansas’ most trusted third-party administrator and offer every conceivable lab test at our southwest Little Rock testing center. We offer confidential paternity testing services with no appointment needed, and we have a Medical Review Officer (MRO) on staff to verify the accuracy of all test results. Establishing paternity is the first step toward holding deadbeat fathers accountable, and the testing procedure is quick and easy.

We’re located at 6400 Scott Hamilton Drive (Exit 135 off Interstate 30) and offer DNA testing services Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. You’ll need to bring the child’s birth certificate, and all adult donors will need to show a government-issued photo ID. We’ll use a mouth swab to collect a specimen from the child and the alleged father, and we can also test siblings or parents if he is unwilling to submit to testing. And we also partner with a network of third-party administrators throughout the United States if the alleged father lives out of state. Just let us know where he lives, and we’ll locate a convenient testing center in his community!

Nearly half of all marriages in America end in divorce, and far too many absentee fathers are either unwilling or unable to meet their share of the financial obligations, which are nearly $300,000 per child. Establishing paternity is an essential first step in ensuring that you receive all the child support to which you’re entitled, and you’ll have results in two to five days. We can also send test results directly to any court or government agency you designate.
