It is uncertain what, precisely, you are trying to accomplish and how you believe a change in legal status would assist in that effort, so it might be a good idea to consult with a legal adviser -- you may have access through your school (there used to be such programs at both CCCC and UNLV, and some high schools have legal consultation programs). If nothing else, free short consultations are offered every Thursday afternoon at the Family Court.
For an explanation of the legal process, consider consulting the self-help center explanation and guidance regarding forms, which you can view here. If that does not answer your questions, the statutes are on line, and you should consider consulting with a family law specialist.
