Your family
Example
Your child is 24 years old. They have an intellectual disability that prevents them from living independently. They've always lived full-time with you. Even though they're older than 21, Defence will still classify them as your child.
Resident family
Example
Your partner lives with you when you get a posting order to a new location.
You move to the new location, but your partner doesn't move with you.
They are still your resident family.
Example
You and your partner have never lived together because your partner is caring for their child who is in another location receiving medical treatment. Your partner may be approved as URF for compassionate reasons.
