A: Filling out the Guardian Ad Litem form can seem daunting, but you can definitely manage it with a bit of guidance. Start by downloading the CIV-010/FL-935 form from the California courts website. Read through the entire form first to familiarize yourself with what information is needed. This will help you gather all necessary documents and details before you begin.

In the top section of the form, you'll need to provide basic information about yourself, including your name, address, and relationship to the child. The next section will ask for details about the child or children involved in the case. Be sure to fill in all fields accurately, as this information is crucial for the court's review.

Finally, you will need to explain why you believe a Guardian Ad Litem is necessary for the child. Be honest and detailed in your explanation, focusing on the best interests of the child. Once you've completed the form, review it carefully for any mistakes or missing information, then submit it according to the instructions provided. If you have any doubts or questions, consider reaching out to a family law attorney or legal aid service for assistance.
