Atlanta, GA asked in Family Law, Child Custody and Child Support for Georgia

Q: I signed a temporary guardianship for my sister to have my daughter , it's been over 6 months. Is it terminated?

I want to cancel it without her permission. She is lying and being deceitful saying I signed my rights but the paper is temporary guardianship and I want my daughter back. I think she tried to file for child support when I already have an open case and seemed custodial parent in another state. What are my rights and what are my options? What can she do in retaliation?
