Families will be represented according to the following rules:

• Each person has one or more legal parent, one or more natural parent and one or more caring person (who pays for life costs)
• Persons (2 to any number) are associated through symetric contracts (ex. mariage, PACS, free association, etc.)

The following cases are still unknown:

• Divorce sounds like a trade condition (since it defines who will owe / pay what to who after divorce).

  • validated : no modify portal content permission, changing a contract is done by cancelling the contract and creating a new one.
  • invalidated : the contract is no longer valid
  • cancelled

Agreements

Agreements between N persons can be viewed in reality a special kind of contract. They are a contract between an enforcing party (ex. the society, the church, etc.) and beneficiaries (ex. the N persons). The enforcing party provides the service of monitoring and enforcing the agreement. This is a kind of service for which the beneficiaries sometimes have to pay. In this sense, the enforcing party is a source (ie. like the source of Law) and the beneficiaries are the destination.
