Are the forms I signed for temporary guardianship legal or are they illegally keeping me away from my daughter?

More details to this question:
My sister has temporary guardianship. We signed a paper stating that they will have my daughter for 3 months and after that I will come to pick her back up. We both agreed. I never went through a judge or lawyer. It was some forms that she said was like a do it yourself temporary guardianship. Now the 3 months is up. She is refusing to give my child back and stating that I will get back my daughter in another 5 months which wasn’t what we agreed on.

I think what your sister is doing is probably illegal. That said, you may need to get a court order to get your daughter returned. At the least you should consult with a family law attorney; it is possible a strongly-worded letter would resolve the problem but it's hard to say.
