Re: guardianship
See an attorney for this--it will certainly make the process smoother. If you wish to do it yourself, call the local court, as they often have a packet of the forms you'll need, and also check your library for self-help books on the subject--if Nolo Press has a book, theirs will likely be the best.
If the father cooperates, the process should be fairly simple, with a petition to the court, a hearing, and a court order granting you guardianship.
