It is very difficult to get legal custody of a specific child if you are not a relative. If the child live with you, exclusively, you need to have him declared a ward of the court. At the same time, you need to become certified as a foster parent. You will be expected to fill out forms and give information about the living arrangements.

If the child is not living with you, you can notify the proper authorities to have the child removed from the home, but there is no guarantee that you will be granted custody.

You need to hire an attorney for yourself and the child. That way you will have an advocate to help guide you through the legal requirements.

How do you the grandparents obtain temporary custody of your granddaugher whose parents are not providing for her in the county of Anne Arundel in the state of Maryland?

As painful as this might be, you have to get the state involved (if you feel strongly enough that this has to be done). Contact the child protective service for Maryland and they can help. You really don't want to have the child with you without formal custody and authority, because you may run into problems if health care or educational decisions have to be made and you are not able to contact the bio parents for permission.
