What is the test for determining paternity of a child?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from County of El Dorado v. Schneider, 191 Cal.App.3d 1263, 237 Cal.Rptr. 51 (Cal. App. 1987):

[191 Cal.App.3d 1275] Here, the blood tests ordered by the court were equally critical to the County's case. It goes without saying that the act necessarily preceding parentage is procreation. That act, in turn, is invariably private. Witnesses are, to put it mildly, scarce. Blood tests therefore play a crucial role in the accurate determination of paternity. (See generally Little v. Streater, supra, 452 U.S. at p. 7, 101 S.Ct. at p. 2206.)
