How can I reverse guardianship that I gave to parents

In 2003 I gave temporary legal guardianship of my daughter ( that I was previously awarded sole custody of, in a seperate, previous divorce settlement by the order of court)... to my parents after learning that I would be absent from my daughter for one year. The agreement was based on a temporary basis between my mother and myself and then legally prepared at courthouse due to power of attorney, medical, assistance issues, etc. In 2004 when I returned home, I purchased a house two blocks from my parents house, where the child was...and still is... residing. I have made my wishes to parents and child clear- that child needs now to come back home and pointed out repeatedly that this was to be a temporary arrangement. I am experiencing heavy resistance from both parents... and child. The reasons include such issues as "child is "used to " bigger house, child is accustomed to a lush lifestyle- provided for by my father, that earns 250K annually. I will agree that child has things much better from a financial standpoint. However, childs emotional, psycological and adolescent-related needs are not being met- and further, there are serious behavioral issues with child and even greater health issues with the guardian-grandparents. Age, too, is a factor to be considered. There are so many issues... yet it seems to me a very simple matter- I want my daughter back...living in my home with my other child, wife, and self- as we all three feel very incomplete without the child at issue.

Your right guardiandship is tempory and you should file a motion with the court and get sole custody back. I had guardianship of my grandson and my daughter signed over consent for me to have it. The court told me at the time that I got the guardianship that at any time that the mother wanted custody back that I would have to give him back. Grandparents only have the rights that the parents give them. It is best to talk to them and tell them that you want your child and you want to really get along and reassure them that you have know intent to stop them from seeing their granchild. That you know that they love her as she does them. If they refuse to work with you tell them they leave you know other choice but to go to court. Your living so close I would think that they would be happy.
