You will have to file a court petition here in MD to revoke the guardianship and restore custody to yourself. As long as you can prove your fitness as a parent, you should be able to accomplish this, as natural parents have priority over other relatives. You will need to engage an experienced family attorney in the county where your parents live to help you. If you cannot afford an attorney, you may be eligible for a pro bono (free) or reduced fee attorney. Contact the bar association in the appropriate county for more information and to see if you qualify.
I agree with Mr. Sher. You will have file a court petition in MD to revoke your father's guardianship. The best thing you can do is obtain a local MD attorney who can do this for you. In addition to contacting the bar as suggested above, you may also consider calling Columbus Community Legal Services, which is a pro bono clinic offered through Catholic University Law School located in N.E. Washington D.C. They offer domestic and family law support for folks who qualify. Good luck.
