Well.... The person who has legal guardianship is the person who has LEGAL guardianship. If the mother has custody, no matter where that child moves (untill their 17th or 18th birthdate dependant on the state), the mother will always have custody. The only way to change it is through the courts. * If a custodial order has not been issued by the court that stipulates otherwise, both biological parents have equal custodial rights.

In the state of Illinois can legal guardianship of a child be obtained by signing a piece of noterized paper and not handing it in to the court system?
No. Nor in any state. Now a person could have a note from a parent authorizing him/her to care for the child in the parent's absence. But that is not the same thing as "legal guardianship". More like "long term babysitter".
