It's normal to do a little detective work when you suspect your significant other of cheating. Exposing infidelity may not be as easy as checking a cell phone or hacking into the suspected philanderer's computer. But technology is coming through in the clutch for those who want to bust their beloved. Lipstick on the collar is a pretty obvious sign of infidelity, but how about DNA in the underwear? The Paternity Lab Center, a national DNA lab, may sound straight off Maury Povich - and it kind of is. The Paternity Lab is in the business of figuring out paternity based on DNA samples such as cheek swabs from babies and their purported daddies.
Now the company offers a service for those who suspect their partners of cheating. All you have to do is provide the company with a pair of panties or underwear, and for $200, the lab will test to see if semen or female DNA is present. Clients can go the extra mile and submit their own DNA for comparison, avoiding the scenario in which the cheater claims it's his or her partner's DNA. That service costs $215, but the whole deal is a bargain compared to pricey private investigators and other means of surveillance. Why go so far to find out if your mate is cheating? Well, for some going through a divorce, proof of infidelity can bolster a divorce case. So far, the company has had quite a few clients and reports that 60 percent of them have been male. Roughly 30 percent of the tests they've done so far have revealed damning evidence.
