Definition Intact Family - a family unbroken by divorce and/or separation.

Application in Divorce A family broken by divorce and/or separation must still function. Divorced parents are still parents who must deal with each other in the rearing of their children.

Most people who divorce eventually marry again, so a family broken by divorce is very often blended into a step family. The relationship within step families can be very difficult and tax the flexibility of its members to adjust to new situation and new people.
