In the US and the UK a minor child's next of kin is her parents. It doesn't matter whether they are married and the law favors neither one. See the related question for a more detailed source for inheritance from intestate estates.
The next of kin would be the spouse, then the children and then the parents. For inheritance purposes, if they are still married, it would be split between the children and the spouse. If they are no longer married, the children will get the estate, held in trust while they are minors.

No. Although next of kin is an inexact term depending on the context, a fiance is not next of kin. An unmarried adult's (who has minor children) children and parents would be considered next of kin. See related question link. A fiance would have no legal rights unless the decedent had executed a document granting legal authority.

I will assume you want to know who are the next-of-kin of a minor. Although degrees of kinship are decided according to state law, generally, a minor's next-of-kin are the parents. If the parents are deceased then the next-of-kin would be any siblings. If there are no siblings then the next in line would be grandparents or any lineal descendants of the grandparents. You can review a Degrees of Kinship Chart at the link below.
