Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A blended family is formed when two adults with children from previous relationships marry or cohabit to form a new family unit. In this scenario, Robert has a child from his previous marriage with Rachel, and after getting married to Lisa, they will form a blended family. A dual parenting family is when the parents raise their children together but have separate households. An extended family includes relatives beyond the nuclear family such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. A remarried family is when one or both parents have been previously married and have remarried but does not necessarily involve children from previous relationships.
