    Depends on the terms of what you signed. Guardianships are generally revocable. You may simply have to give him a letter revoking it, or you may need a court order revoking it.

    However, until you do, you could be in legal trouble for keeping the child. So you need to move faster and engaging an attorney would be a good idea.

    • you gave the man a paper merely signed by you (no court involved)?
