The court will look first to a relative, and then elsewhere. However, simply put, the bottom line is the court will decide custody based on what is "in the best interest of the children."

It depends how many adults want to take in the children.
In case of a dispute the court will decide what it considers to be the "best interest of the child(ren)".
