Asked in Child Custody for Georgia

Q: Do we need to get a lawyer

My husband signed a paper for temporary guardianship to her grandparents cause he was in a bad place in his life at the time and has since gotten his life on track. The childs mother lives in a place that is falling apart and has no power. We went to get a copy of the temporary guardianship papers but they could not find where they had been filed. So we also had the check to see if a power of attorney had been filed and neither have been filed or there is no record of it being filed.... What do we need to do to get his daughter. They wont let her come back to our house right now because they are questioning how we got her to sleep in the room with my 8 year old daughter and how we got her to sleep by 10 and sleep all night because at their home she stays awake till 1,2 or 3 am and wakes up at night and she sleeps in the bed with them. we found out this is the reason yesterday so because we can accomplish stuff they cant they wont let her come back to the house.
