Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

Re: MEXICO and custody

Depends on whether the "legal guardianship" you signed was a purely private arrangement between you and your mother (essentially, "We hereby consent to my mother being the guardian of our children"), without any court involvement, or whether it is was a "formal" guardianship whereby your mother was actually appointed by the court to serve as the legal guardian of children, with the guardianship continuing until the court renders a subsequent order terminating the guardianship.

If the former, you most likely have the power to unilaterally rescind the "guardianship." If the latter, you would need to obtain a court order terminating the guardianship (on the basis that the reasons for which the guardianhip was originally needed no longer exist and, therefore, there is no reason for the guardianship to continue).
