	People who aim to have children by assisted reproduction ― including through ''in vitro'' fertilization when no one other than the intended parents are involved ― often freeze eggs, sperm, and embryos for future use.

If the mother and the purported father agree to have a paternity test conducted, no order of the court is necessary. You simply <span class="noglossary">contact</span> the appropriate company and arrange to have blood or saliva samples taken and tested. The DNA tests are done with a mouth swab, generally, and legal paternity tests can be done with just the child's and the alleged father's sample. The results will be delivered to you directly. Some companies even offer home sampling kits that provide legally admissible test results provided that the test is properly witnessed by someone else. Generally, however, legal paternity tests are conducted in an authorized collection centre where identities of the sample providers and the integrity of the samples can be confirmed.

	Where the parties don't agree to a test, one of them, usually the alleged father, must make an application to court for an order that samples be taken from the parties and the child and that a paternity test be conducted under section 33(2) of the ''Family Law Act''. Under section 33(3), the court can also make an order about who must pay for the cost of the test.
