Thank you for your question. To terminate the guardianship of a child, the guardian can file a petition to resign as the guardian and return the child to his or her parent(s). If the guardian will not willingly terminate the guardianship a petition would need to be filed requesting the court terminate the guardianship. I would suggest making an appointment for a consultation with an attorney who do this type of work.

In most states the person can write to the court which awarded the guardianship asking to have her rights restored. The court will then appoint a court investigator, guardian ad litem or other person with specialized training to investigate.
