Are stepsons and stepdaughters immediate family members?

Legal analysis: 1, in terms of blood relationship, it is not a direct relative. 2. Legally speaking, it belongs to. If both parents divorce and form a new family, the children are within the immediate family of the stepfather or stepmother (enjoy the same rights and obligations as the biological children). The rights and obligations here refer to upbringing and maintenance, inheritance, etc. Immediate family members refer to spouses, parents (in-laws, in-laws), children, grandparents (grandparents), grandchildren and their spouses. China laws generally use "lineal blood relatives" or "close relatives". The lineal blood relatives in Chinese Civil Code include parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren, and grandchildren.

Legal basis: Article 1072 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that there shall be no abuse or discrimination between step parents and step children.

The provisions of this law on the relationship between parents and children shall apply to the rights and obligations between stepfathers or stepmothers and their stepchildren.
