Attorney Gloria Allred, on behalf of former child star Paul Petersen's organization A Minor Consideration, has petitioned a California court to appoint the guardian to ensure child labor laws are followed and the money the kids are paid for their participation actually goes to them.

Suleman's lawyer has claimed that a lawyer has been hired for the children, and that a trust has been established in their names.

Suleman has 14 children -- the 7-month-old octuplets, a 7-year-old boy, 6-year-old girl, a 5-year-old boy, a 3-year-old boy, and two 2-year-old twins.
