J.W.L. (Child), by her next friend J.L.M. (Mother), appeals the dismissal of her paternity action brought against appellee-respon-dent, A.J.P. The issue presented is whether a child is barred by principles of full faith and credit or res judicata from bringing a paternity action in Indiana when a foreign divorce judgment lists the child as a child of the marriage between the child's mother and someone other than the person named in the Indiana paternity action.
We reverse.
