understanding paternity test results

I was recently part of a paternity test.  I am hoping for a non-bias review of the results.  The results are as follows:

Child/Father  
D3S1358   15,16 / 16,17  
D7S820     10,11 / 11  
vWA          15,16 / 15,16  
FGA          20, 22 / 21, 22.2
D8S1179   13 / 13,14
D21S11     30, 35 / 29, 30
D18S51     18 / 14, 18
D5S818     10, 11 / 11, 12
D13S317    11, 12 / 8, 12
D16S539    11, 12 / 9, 11
TH             8, 11 / 8, 11
CSF1PO    10, 11 / 11, 12

Based on these results, what is your opinion on paternity probability?  

Mother's results on same markers:

15, 17
11, 13
15, 18
22
13, 14
32.2, 35
18
10
11, 13
12
6, 8
11
11, 12

I am confused by genetic mutations and parentage versus kin/relation.  Is it common for paternal alleles to have more exact combinations (ie. vWA, TH, TPOX)  than maternal?

Please help me understand!  

Thanks!

Guess I should include Child/Father TPOX too, 8, 11 / 8, 11.  Should have been 2nd from the bottom.  Sorry for the oversight.

Okay, one more time, maybe I can post correctly this time.  

Child/Father

TPOX   8, 11 / 8, 11

Mother
