I know I can take time off to help a family member who is being abused. Who is considered a “family member” under the law?

A “family member” can be a spouse or former spouse; someone related to you by blood or marriage; someone who you have a child in common with; or someone who lives/lived together with you like a family in the same apartment/house.1
