Temporary Guardianship

[Sodaberry]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington State

I'm needing some help... About 6 months ago I signed a temporary guardianship agreement for my mother to give care to my daughter. However, the relationship between my mother and I have become unbearable and she often refuses to let me or my father visit her, and also harasses us both. I want to remove my daughter from her care, however she's now threatening to call the police and refusing to let me take her.

The guardianship form was not signed but a judge, but was notarized.

It's my understanding that because it's not a court order, it's my choice to cancel this agreement at any time because I still have custody under Washington State Law.

Can someone please verify this information, as well as let me know what I should have ready to present to police if they are to get involved.
I know I should have proof of incidents showing harassment if that should become an issue, we'll have copies of the agreement, I have a letter saying I no longer agree to let her care for my daughter. Is there anything else I should have?

As my daughter's grandmother, does she have any rights that could strip me of custody?

It appears what you signed was a form giving the temporary guardian the authority to care for the child , the ability to get medical care and the like .

Temporarily .

If the person you entrusted with the temporary care will not willingly turn your child back over to you ,you take a police officer with you to retrieve your child .

Unless this person can show the officer a court order or something from Child Protectives ,that they have a right keep your child from you ,the officer should instruct this person to hand over your child to you.

Show proof that you are a legal parent.

Just a Q? though .

Are you a minor ?
