Currently, my in-laws have temporary guardianship of my niece while they were living in Alabama. Now, we had the child move in with us here in Florida and we are wondering if we can just transfer temporary guardianship from my in-laws to me and my husband.

You will want to file a Petition for Guardianship by Extended Family under chapter 751 in Florida. The Florida court will need to take jurisdiction over the minor child and so this will be the easiest and most direct method of accomplishing that. As long as you are an extended family member and the parents have given their consent, you should be good. I hope this is helpful.
