The purpose of this study is to examine the intergenerational relationships in stepfamilies. In order to understand this type of family, it is important to investigate the detail histories of stepfamily relationships. This study utilises interview data of more than 60 people, who are the single parents, the mothers in stepfamilies, the fathers in stepfamilies, the children in stepfamilies, the children who experienced divorce/remarriage of their parents, and the grandparents who experienced divorce/remarriage of their children. These interviews show that the intergenerational relationships of various form function among stepfamilies. For example, some grandparents maintain even close relationships with their grandchildren after divorce-remarriage of parents. And, some grandmother give a lot of intergenerational support to her granddaughters and the ex-spouse of her son. Intimate relationships sometimes are established outside of the legal family.
