In this article, the definition of «atypical plaintiff» is formulated and some peculiarities of the initiation of civil cases and civil proceedings on the claims of atypical plaintiffs regarding parenting are analyzed. Atypical plaintiffs' legal recourse is a non-standard situation for judges. Therefore, cases of violation of the right to judicial protection of both the plaintiff and the child are not uncommon, and they may take the form of refusal to receive the statement of claim or refusal to satisfy the claim. The aim of this study was to work out some proposals concerning civil proceedings in cases with atypical plaintiffs and the amendments of the family and civil procedural legislation to better ensure the rights and legitimate interests of children when considering disputes on the upbringing of minors. The objectives of the research included formulating the definition of the term «atypical plaintiff»; revealing, with the use of concrete examples, some problems that arise when cases involving the claims of atypical plaintiffs concerning education of children are considered, and to substantiate the ways for solving such problems. The author used the methods of materialist dialectics, namely the sociological, structural functional, formal logical methods. Some recommendations are given for cases with atypical plaintiffs and a number of changes are proposed to the existing legislation with the aim to protect the rights of children and parents in unusual situations.
