You would have to file a Complaint and Order To Show Cause with the court in the county in which you live asking to be appointed as the Guardian Ad Litem. The order will name you as the Guardian, and you will have to notice anyone else (biological parent or other guardian). Any other person noticed has the right to show up in court and object to you being appointed, but if no one answers the complaint and does not show up in court, you will be appointed. It could take several weeks to accomplish because the paperwork has to be drafted, served on who ever has the right to receive notice, and then a court hearing scheduled. there are filing fees in filing the complaint, and attorney's fees that would be incurred. It is difficult to estimate how much this could cost without more information.
