Tyler F. v. Sara P. (Nebraska 2016)
An individual may not bring a paternity action as the next friend of a child if the child has a parent who is already acting in that role. The next friend is meant to be used when the child does not have a parent or guardian who can act on its behalf. In this case, the alleged father father did not have standing to file a paternity action as the next friend of a child.
