The modern American family is much different than the traditional American family of yesteryear. Today, families aren’t just a mother, father and children with the occasional holiday visit to grandparents, aunts and uncles. Today, children are often raised by a single parent, aunts, uncles, foster parents, step-parents or grandparents. Blended families from second or subsequent marriages are common. Economic times have given rise to multiple generations or siblings and their children sharing a household.

The change in the definition of family demonstrates an adaptation to changing times by relying on blood ties and friendships to provide stable and loving environments for ourselves and our children.Family Law Attorney Denham Springs
