Only after a court order is issued, presented to the laboratory, and verified as legal, the subjects may be summoned to a test and it may be carried out. According to the instructions of the Genetic Information Law, the test results will not be provided to the subjects, their attorneys or any other person on their behalf, but only to the family court.<\/p>\n

In Israel there are laboratories licensed by the Ministry of Health to perform paternity and family relation tests. If the process requires the testing of a non-living person, it is possible to use a biological sample from the deceased, which was taken in a medical institution or under other circumstances. In exceptional cases, a request must be filed with the court for an order to open a grave for the purpose of taking a sample.<\/p>\n

Method of administering the test<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A sample is taken from each of the subjects, and in this way genetic markers are tested in (at least) 15 independent chromosomal sites (STR). The information from these tests can determine whether the subjects have a familial relation or not.<\/p>\n

It is important to note that half of the genetic characteristics of every person are derived from the biological mother, and half of them are derived from the biological father. Therefore, if a subject is found to have genetic markers that do not exist in the person who is claimed to be his or her biological parent, the conclusion is that the subjects are not parent and child. If all the genetic markers found in a person were also found to exist in the person who is claimed to be his or her biological parent, the conclusion is that there is a high probability that they are parent and child.<\/p>\n

If a match like this is found in the test results, it is considered by the court to be \u201cnear absolute\u201d evidence that there is a familial relation between the subjects. In other words, if a court ruling is required to determine that the person aged 28 or older is indeed the child of the father or mother requesting his or her registration, the test will be administered in accordance with the court order, and if a match will be found in the test results, as described, this will be excellent evidence for proving the required family relation.<\/p>\n

Due to the complexity of the issue, and the sensitivity of performing the DNA test, which is done in Israel, it is necessary to seek assistance from an Israeli attorney who has experience in family and immigration law, including paternity claims.<\/p>\n
