QUESTION
Can I just take my daughter back or do I have to get the case to court?
Asked on Mar 12th, 2013 on Child Custody - Illinois
More details to this question:
I signed a document giving my mother temporary guardianship of my child. The document is only valid for three years. My mother refuses to let me have my child back. I don’t have a copy of the paper work and my mother won’t let me have a copy of hers. Can I just take my daughter back?

File a motion with the court, you as the mother will win.

If there is not a court order stating otherwise, then yes, you can go pick up your daughter, as you legally still have custody of her.
