Legislative History

Source: R.S.1867, Code § 39, p. 399; R.S.1913, § 7591; C.S.1922, § 8534; C.S.1929, § 20-310; R.S.1943, § 25-310. Annotations: Minor over fourteen has the right to apply for appointment of guardian, and objection that no guardian was appointed comes too late after verdict. Kuhlman v. Schacht, 130 Neb. 511, 265 N.W. 549 (1936). Where partition suit is brought by father against minor children under fourteen years of age, service on minors and plaintiff as father and guardian is sufficient to confer jurisdiction on court to appoint guardian ad litem. Beadle v. Beadle, 102 Neb. 73, 165 N.W. 953 (1917).
