I believe that CPS would look to the next nearest relative that is able to give the children a temporary home.

They will be placed with a relative if available. Otherwise it will be Foster Care or a group home.

They could possibly go to a relative if the relative petitioned the court. Otherwise, they will go to foster care.

If there are no relatives to take them, CPS will probably put them in a foster home.

If it is on a temporary basis, the children can stay with a family member with consent of the parents. If this is done, you will need a power of attorney for the children for health/school purposes. If jail is a long period of time, the local county children services will step in a take temporary custody. If this is done, then they usually will try to find a family member to place the children, if none is available or unwilling, then foster care.
