Can you ask your paternity test to be redone?

Paternity tests, once conducted and the results received, cannot be redone. The reason is that the result of the test comes with a degree of certainty, and it is often as high as 99.99% or even higher. This means that there is a minuscule chance that the results will not be accurate. The tests are conducted in accredited labs, and the labs have strict protocols that they follow to ensure the results are accurate. Therefore, a paternity test cannot be redone unless there are reasons to believe that the initial test was done incorrectly.
