If temporary guardianship has expired, does the natural mother still have legal custody?
I need to know what steps I need to take, if any to obtain custody of my son. My sister-in-law filed for temporary guardianship awhile back and it has since expired. She has not tried to renew it and I’m doing really well in life now and would like to have him back.

You should be very proud of yourself pulling things together to better your life with your son. It would be best to show some one the order of which you speak but the best thing to probably do is to have a Judge officially terminate the temporary custody and grant custody back to you. Good luck.
