I am so sorry! You need to file a petition for appointment of temporary guardian (GC-110) and petition for appointment of guardian of a minor (GC-210).  This is actually a little bit of a complicated process, and there are a lot of forms that are required, so I would suggest that if you have transportation that you go to your local courthouse and ask the probate clerk for a "guardianship packet".  He/She can give you a packet of all the forms you need with some brief instructions.  If not, you can get them here: http://www.courts.ca.gov/forms.htm?filter=GC, and you can review some basic instructions on the forms that are required here: http://www.courts.ca.gov/1214.htm.     You will also need to submit a request to waive court fees. The filing fee would otherwise be pretty expensive.  You can also request that an attorney be appointed to represent you.  Best of luck!
