Q: How do I regain custody of my children?(13 &16).Signed over to sister in 07.
Signed over because of cps case. Case was closed but custody was never signed back over. My sister and I both agree that I should have custody signed back over to me. I signed in lawyers office without going to court. Can the same lawyer reverse the papers and have my sister sign to me?
A: You need to bring any paperwork you have to an attorney to discuss your options. It sounds like a temporary guardianship, but I'd have to see the documents to know for sure. This can be terminated relatively easily, but you need to confirm that is what it is by talking with an attorney.
