DNA testing can be a highly emotional process for everyone involved. In some cases, people will have a relationship confirmed which can help to eliminate thoughts of uncertainty surrounding relationships. In other cases, the results may show that a person who you believed was related to you is not related to you in a biological way. The results from DNA testing provide conclusive evidence of a biological relationship and may not always reflect the established cultural relationships between you and the persons being tested.
These results can directly impact the persons being tested, but may also affect other family members and friends of the individuals tested. Results may be life-changing and some people may find it difficult to understand how the family structure will change following DNA testing. We strongly recommend that all persons involved in DNA testing seek counselling both prior to testing and after receiving results.
Children involved in DNA testing should have the testing explained to them and why it is being done. Counselling is recommended before testing is done, as it can be important in maintaining an ongoing relationship with the child. Further counselling is also recommended if the results of a paternity test is unexpected, or believed to have had an emotional impact on the child. Counselling by someone outside the family is sometimes easier for the child rather than discussing the issues with the immediate family members.
Paternity cases before the Family Law Court may have counselling options available to them. For cases not before the court, counselling assistance can be accessed at some of the links below.
