Since social sciences and jurisprudence refer to each other in family-related research in many ways, it appears to be extremely important that both disciplines collaborate. They both have in common that they consider it possible that legal norms and societal realities diverge and that this division can be delineated scientifically. From this divergence, they deduce calls for consequences in legal policy. Diverging tasks and viewpoints as well as differing terms and methods may lead to misconceptions that, in turn, can only be identified by mutual comprehension and collaboration. In the contribution presented here, these findings shall be exemplified by several family constellations, such as marriage, civil union, separation and divorce, legal and social parenthood, single parents, stepfamily, socio-family relationship. In the conclusion, there shall be a plea from the viewpoint of jurisprudence for an intensification of transdisciplinary research.
