you have to prove the the child would benefit from living with the child's parent NOT where they live now. It is difficult and $$$$$$$

Yes you should be able to but that doesnt mean that you will get your child back.
If you want to get your child back there is alot you will need to do first of all you need to establish why you want your child back,what can you provide for the child(like stable housing,you have a good income(means that you can pay for the housing costs,daycare,buy food, and health care if needed),child care for the child if you are working,nothing going on in the home that would put the child in an endangered situation,and you may also have to prove why the child would be better off with you now and not with the other guardian.This should all be done by a lawyer so that nothing gets overlooked and you may have to have CPS involved(Child Protective Services) but this may work out to your advantage though because if you can prove to them that you are ready willing and able to care for the child and show them what you can provide then they will make a report that will go to the family court judge and if they decide that you are ready then that will be there decision but you may also have to explain to the judge why having the child with the guardian is no longer a suitable situation for you. but they also may decide that the child needs to stay with the guardian so be prepared for that. This may take a long time to get through the court system so you need to be prepared for a long waiting time.
Good Luck and Take Care

Yes, but have a fine time trying. Some parents sign guardianship for certain reasons ( single parents who enter the military sign over rights to maternal or paternal g-parents) and have a hard time getting their kids back, believe it or not.

It will depend on the reasoning for signing away parental rights in the first place whether the courts will even want to listen to the case. All will be decided on the best interest of the child (in most cases, sometimes the courts really do screw up).

He's right, why would someone else have guardianship? I suppose if the parent was negligent or abusive then someone else could have guardianship. But it would have to be proved.

If it was threw themselves, they need to get a letter drawn up stating it and have it notarized. If it was through the courts, then you have to go before the judge again to reverse it.
Unless it is for the best interest of the child, stop moving their family life around. It is not fair or healthy for them.

it depends..
has the gaurdians filed for child support on you..if they have you may have to prove to the court that you are now a fit parent and still repay all the child support..and prove to child protective services that you are a fit parent.

YES THEY CAN ,BECAUSE GUARDIANSHIP IS JUST WHAT IT SOUND LIKE .YOU HAVE TO HAVE MORE THAN THAT ,THAT JUST GIVES YOU PERMISSION TO CARE FOR THEM ,AT THAT TIME.
