A: You may be able to petition the court to ensure that your daughter is returned to you. Typically, guardianships are temporary, and may terminated at any time by the party who authorized the guardianship. Your best bet would be to gather any and all necessary legal documents related to the guardianship, and consult an experienced family law attorney.
