Wade's divorced mother is the custodial parent and she married a man with three children of his own. They all live together in a new house.

What type of family does Wade live in?

Answer: complex stepfamily

Explanation:

Stepfamily

A blended or complex stepfamily is the family where you find that each parent or one parent has a child from their previous marriage which are not related to the other parent.

Children may not live permanently with the other parent but occasionally visit them. This is a family where you find a step father and a stepmother such as Wade's mom is going to be a stepmother to the three children from her new husband and Wade is going to have a stepfather from the new man in her mom's life. Each parent has children from their previous marriage who are all under the same roof and they will be step brother and step sisters to each other but when both their step parents have the kids together those will be half brother and half sisters to Wade and to other three children.
