That is quite a broad question tnat cannot be answered with any ease.

In general, if CPS feels that the allegations and supporting evidence (claims, physical evidence, corroborated interviews, among others) are sufficient to show that the child faces a likelihood of continued harm if permitted to remain in he home, then they may seek to remove a child immediately and THEN petition the court. If the child is not at immediate risk, they can still file for a petition through the court seeking to remove the child.

What process they take depends on the details and the allegations.
