Legal Question in Family Law in Oklahoma

Cost to Obtain Legal Guardianship

I live in Oklahoma, my parents live in California. My younger brother is living with me. I want to obtain legal guardianship of him but do not have the money to get it. Can I do the process myself? My parents will not object, I just want to be able to get medical insurance for him from my work place but because I am not his legal guardian he can't qualify. I am not getting any help (money) from my parents for his upkeep. Please answer.
