De defacto family?
Answer defacto is a latin term that means in practice or in fact but not necessarily ruled by law. Example is with maybe common law marriage. There would be a de facto family because they are living together as a family but would not have the legal binding such as a real marriage would. In some states, a common law marriage can have some of the same legal rights as a formal marriage and there are stipulations of what constitutes a common law marriage. Hope this helps.
