The best course would be to contact a family law attorney and get them to file the papers for you if you're not familiar with the process. I always persuade my clients not to list a minor child as beneficiary on the life insurance policy. Most insurance companies will place the proceeds in an interest bearing account until the minor reaches majority. Depending on laws in your state, you will also be required to file paperwork periodically with the court to show how every penny is spent. This could have been prevented if the beneficiary was not a minor or if it was stated in the beneficiary statement (Beneficiary XX for benefit of minor child XX). This simple statement would have prevented the problems while showing the intent of the insured to care for the child.
