QUESTION

Guardianship, how to get it back.

Asked on Jul 14th, 2017 on Child Custody - Arkansas
More details to this question:
During moving and starting a new job I gave my son's grandmother guardianship of him. Her lawyer typed up a document and we both signed it with a notary. The document says she will have guardianship but doesn't state a date it ends. Now that I am back on my feet and have a more stable environment for him, she will not allow him to come back. She will not even allow him to come over because she doesn't like my boyfriend (who is the father of my youngest son). We never went to court or had the court involved at all, it was just the paper that was notarized. How do I go about getting him back home?

It sounds like the "Guardianship" you have is simply an agreement between you and Grandmother. A Court has not made findings that are required to obtain or order a legal guardianship. Really, a lawyer needs to review that document and confirm that it was not submitted to a Court for the purpose of establishing legal guardianship of your child. Richard Hughes (501) 376-1112
