LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Child actor advocates want an Orange County court to appoint a guardian to oversee the estate of Nadya Suleman's octuplets.

The move comes as a reality show is slated to start filming Suleman and her 14 children, all under age 8, on September 1.

At a hearing Monday, a judge is expected to hear a petition filed by lawyer Gloria Allred on behalf of Paul Petersen, a former Disney Mouseketeer who heads the group A Minor Consideration.

Petersen says he wants a guardian to ensure labor laws are followed and money the babies earn is kept safe.

Suleman's lawyer has said previously the family has hired an entertainment lawyer and established a trust for the children.

The world's longest-surviving octuplets, six boys and two girls, were born January 26.
