Guardianship Orders in California State Court

Helping Families Protect Children and Build Secure Futures

At Sadri Law, PC, we know that caring for a child who needs stability, love, and legal protection can feel overwhelming — especially when the law is involved. Our firm provides trusted guidance for families across California seeking guardianship orders through state court.

Whether you are stepping in to care for a child because their parents are unable to do so, or you need a guardianship order to support a Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) petition, a guardianship lawyer in California can help you protect what matters most — the child’s safety, stability, and future.

What Is a Guardianship Order in California?

A guardianship is a court-ordered legal relationship that gives an adult (the guardian) the right and responsibility to care for a minor (the ward) when the child’s parents cannot.

Under California law, a guardianship allows the guardian to:

• Make medical, educational, and legal decisions for the child
• Enroll the child in school and access healthcare
• Provide a stable, safe home environment
• Support the child’s eligibility for certain immigration protections, including SIJS

Guardianship cases are handled in the California Superior Court’s Probate Division, and each county may have its own local procedures. At Sadri Law, PC, our experienced attorneys for guardianship represent clients throughout Santa Clara County and across California in navigating this process from start to finish.

Our Guardianship Services

Our firm offers full legal representation for probate guardianships of minors, including:

• Preparing and filing the Petition for Appointment of Guardian of the Person (Form GC-210)
• Preparing the Guardianship Questionnaire and related declarations
• Coordinating with court investigators and ensuring compliance with notice requirements
• Representing clients at guardianship hearings
• Securing SIJ predicate orders for minors who may qualify for immigration relief

Whether you are a relative, family friend, or community member stepping up to help a child in need, our firm will walk you through every step with compassion and care.

Guardianship and Immigration (SIJS)

For many undocumented children in California, obtaining a guardianship order in state court is the first step toward legal protection under Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS).

At Sadri Law, PC, we are uniquely positioned to handle both sides of this process:

• State court representation to secure the guardianship and necessary factual findings; and
• Federal immigration filings with USCIS for SIJS and lawful permanent residency.

This integrated approach ensures that the child’s state court and immigration cases align seamlessly — maximizing the chance for a successful outcome.
