You can begin filing for legal guardianship by going through the process of contacting the court and finding out what form or forms that particular court needs and if there are any local or even local local rules about which you need to be aware to ensure you are presenting the right documentation and evidence to the correct judge. If you are a family member, it may be an easier road for you but make sure you do all the necessary paperwork. If the parent is willing to do this, make sure the parent is the one spearheading the filing with you.
