Answer:A binuclear family

Step-by-step explanation:

When parents get divorced they are likely to go their separate ways but still move on with life in a way that they may start to date other people and mostly likely marry those people.

The kids from their ex partners will still be in the picture and they will have to also live with the step parents.

A binuclear family is a result of these families where a divorcee with their children live together with the new spouse.
