Can tests to establish paternity be conducted abroad and will their results be acceptable in proceedings for paternity brought by the mother in Israel ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 07 June, 2022While tests to establish paternity may be conducted abroad it is doubtful whether their results would be accepted as evidence in court proceedings in Israel. Even if paternity tests are voluntarily conducted in Israel without an order a court here is not bound to accept their findings. Other factors which do not relate to the laws of evidence are involved here.
