Q: Can paternal grandmother keep my son away from me with only guardianship I signed over while in hospital?
I was in a bad car accident 3 months ago so I signed over guardianship of my 2 month old son to his paternal grandmother in South Carolina I am from Florida and now I want my son back and she's refusing can she do this? The guardianship was not done through the courts it was just notarized
A: You need to read the paper that "signed over guardianship" to grandma and see what it says about terminating the agreement. If it is silent then you may need to seek the court's help of grandma refuses to return the child.

A: Was the "guardianship" done in South Carolina? If so, you will need to get advice from a lawyer licensed to practice in South Carolina.
