Le terme «relation» désigne aussi un lien de parenté «by blood or affinity». En droit successoral, ce terme et le terme "relative" tendent à s’employer indifféremment pour désigner plutôt un parent par le sang(à l'exclusion des «alliés»). Il y a lieu d’éviter la confusion possible avec la notion de «père» ou «mère» que recouvre aussi le mot «parent» en français. 1, record 6, French, - parent

[...] muchos son los padres que reclaman la implantación de la custodia compartida, también denominada "coparentalidad" o "responsabilidad parental conjunta". Este concepto implica un acuerdo mediante el cual, tras la ruptura matrimonial, los hijos pasan una parte de su tiempo con un progenitor y otra parte con el otro, de una forma más o menos equitativa. El acuerdo se toma a través de la mediación, es decir, mediante profesionales o familiares que llevan a las dos partes a buscar puntos en común acerca de los hijos, evitando así cualquier litigio. 5, record 7, Spanish, - custodia%20compartida
