You would need to go to Kentucky and petition for a hearing in the Court in which she received guardianship and contest the Order. You have a right to Notice of any filings and if you did not receive this notice prior to any action, any Order is more than likely void for failure of due process. By all means contact that court and find out when the next court date is, and if there is no date, request a hearing for failure to receive due process.
