Our children are the most important part of our lives, and every parent will tell you that the experience has affected them in more ways than they ever imagined. Unfortunately, half of all marriages end in divorce, and many absentee fathers are either unwilling or unable to share the costs of raising their children. But our team at First Choice is here to help, and we offer legally binding paternity testing services in Little Rock with no appointment needed!

We’re Arkansas’ most trusted third-party administrator and keep a Medical Review Officer (MRO) on staff to verify the accuracy of all testing results. Our testing center is located at 6400 Scott Hamilton Drive in southwest Little Rock (Exit 135 off Interstate 30), and we offer testing at your convenience during business hours. Specimen collection only takes minutes, and you’ll typically receive legally binding results within 2 to 5 business days. We can also send results directly to any court or agency you choose.

The testing process is quick and easy, and also completely painless. We’ll collect a DNA sample using a mouth swab from both the child and the alleged father, and we can also test siblings or parents in the event that the alleged father is unable or unwilling to submit to testing. And if the alleged father lives outside Arkansas, we can coordinate testing through our nationwide network of trusted third-party administrators. Be sure to bring the child’s birth certificate when you come in for testing, and we’ll also need to see a driver’s license or a government-issued photo ID for all adult donors.

Parenting is a shared responsibility, and it’s also very expensive. It costs an average of nearly $300,000 per child over the course of their first 18 years, and fathers are obligated to share the financial responsibilities even if the marriage or relationship ends. It’s unfortunate when a father isn’t willing to pay his fair share, and establishing paternity is an essential first step in ensuring that your children receive the financial support to which they’re legally entitled!
