Traditionally, a family is defined as a group of people of one or more adults who carry responsibility for caring for and raising one or more children. Children can have multiple family situations when they live partly with their father and partly with their mother e.g. after a divorce.Currently, the term is used more broadly for all forms of cohabitation which form a recognizable social unit, of people who are or who are not related and who have long-lasting, affective bonds and provide each other with support and care.
