You need to talk to a social worker first. Or whoever is involved in the case. You can obtain the papers to fill out from an attorney.

Go to your nearest courthouse and ask the clerk there for a form to obtain guardianship and inform them if this is for a minor/adult and fill it out completely.

You can consult a lawyer and have temporary guardianship papers drawn up. Or, if you and the child's parent agree to the temporary guardianship, you both can write a statement detailing what this informal agreement includes. Is it a medical and educational guardianship? What will be the duration of the guardianship? These items should be included in the notarized paperwork.
