For custody, DUI, criminal, and parentage cases, we help you pick the test that actually answers the question — and tell you what the result will and won't prove in court. Donors test at an accredited site near them, anywhere in the US. Chain-of-custody that holds up is assumed, not the pitch. Serving attorneys since 2010.
Identity verified, collection documented, custody unbroken — built so the result stands up when opposing counsel pushes on it. Testing is performed by accredited partner laboratories.
TrueTest has handled thousands of family court collections since 2015. We consult on the order before the test, run the collection to a documented chain of custody, and explain what the result does and doesn't say.
Same-week collection in most cases, and a human on the phone who knows your matter — not a ticket queue.
We test both sides the same way and document everything the same way. Neutrality is the point — we answer to the court, not to either party.
For ongoing monitoring when both sides agree that a lab collection every time is more than the situation needs. The donor completes an oral fluid screen at home, at work, or on the road while a TrueTest collector watches on live video. Result during the session. No site visit, no collection fee, and nothing goes to a lab unless the screen is non-negative. Priced by schedule — call for a quote.
Schedule a video test or call 847-258-3966This is a screen, not a lab test. It gives a yes/no, not a number. No specimen is kept for re-testing. Oral fluid covers a shorter window than urine. Both parties should agree to that trade-off before the first session.

Common fits: parenting plans and consent orders with ongoing monitoring, cases that have moved past the contested phase, and schedules where cost is deciding how often testing happens.
Electronic orders are placed immediately and we select the most convenient certified collection site near the donor — whether near home, work, or anywhere across the country.
For clients who require discretion, mobile drug testing is available in the comfort of their home. Ideal for sensitive custody or legal situations requiring privacy.
Forensic vs. diagnostic testing, the laboratory report vs. the MRO report, and how to match hair, urine, PEth, and sweat-patch testing to the question your case is actually asking.
Read the attorney guide →A short, neutral explainer to hand a client: why a court-ordered test is different from a clinic visit, why chain of custody matters, and what to do first — so their result actually counts.
Share the client guide →What the 90-day window really covers, what a positive does and doesn't establish, why environmental exposure cuts differently in family court, and how the panel named in an order decides the cost.
Read the hair testing guide →The same panels as hair over a longer window — fingernails to about six months, toenails up to twelve. When nails are the right call, where they're weaker, and what an order has to say before hair runs out.
Read the nail testing guide →A hair test run on the child rather than the parent, built to separate what was merely in the home from what the child's body actually processed — and what a court can and can't take from it.
How Child Guard works →The provisions where testing orders most often come up short — naming the test rather than the substance, requiring forensic collection, and specifying who receives which report.
What an order should specify →What a PEth number can and can't establish about drinking, why the same result gets read two different ways in court, and what to check before relying on one.
Read the PEth guide →What a cutoff is and why one exists, how a screening result differs from a confirmation, which number on the report the determination actually rests on, and what a negative does and does not show. With annotated hair, PEth, and urine reports.
