I live in a different state so am not sure how long Massachusetts takes to schedule DNA testing and to receive the results.

    It will depend on the court and the lab.

    Each Court sets its own schedule for the hearings. The time to reply to your complaint is determined by state statute. Usually a 30 or 60 day time-frame is allowed for the other party to reply.

    The Lab will normally schedule an appointment within a couple weeks and it normally takes a couple weeks for the results to be returned. Pay attention to who they will be sending the result to because sometimes people are waiting but they were not on the list to receive the results.
