A: In California, if you gave your sister-in-law guardianship over your child, she may have legal custody and control over your child until the guardianship is revoked or terminated.

If you want to revoke the guardianship, you will need to go through the legal process of terminating the guardianship. This may involve filing a petition with the court to terminate the guardianship and providing notice to your sister-in-law.

To begin the process of terminating the guardianship, you may want to consult with an attorney who specializes in family law. An attorney can help you understand the legal process and guide you through the steps of terminating the guardianship.

It's important to note that the court will consider the best interests of the child when deciding whether to terminate the guardianship. The court may consider factors such as your relationship with your child, your ability to provide for your child, and your child's current living situation.

In the meantime, you may want to work with your sister-in-law to try to come to an agreement about custody and visitation arrangements for your child. If you are unable to reach an agreement, you may need to seek the assistance of a mediator or the court to help resolve the issue.

Again, consulting with an attorney who specializes in family law can help you understand your options and determine the best course of action in your specific situation.
