A legal test should be performed in any circumstances in which the test participants(s) think they may want to take the results to court or use them in a legal proceeding.

* US Paternity laws can trace their orgins to 18th century England. Chief Justice of the King's Bench, Lord William Murray Mansfield, served from 1756 until his retirement at age 80 in 1788. His decisions greatly influenced the English States today. Sometimes referred to either as the Bastardy Rule, defines a child born into a marriage to be a product of that marriage. The husband of the mother is legally bound to support the child as though it were his own. While use of the Mansfield Rule is falling on disfavor, many states still use this guiding princible.
