本研究以繼親家庭此種非典型家庭為主軸，從「法律」的專業角度，並利用檔案分析、比較法、文獻分析法等研究方法提出我國繼親家庭在法律上之困境、立法漏洞與相應的解決方案。
在討論繼親家庭法律規範之形成時，本文認為應將繼父母之角色視為「事實上父母」地位，以避免汙名化而使立法規範進度延滯不前。而在收養繼子女的階段，司法院大法官釋字第502號解釋及民法第1073條第2項之修法，本文以為，除了最小年齡差距外，亦應增訂最大年齡差距，而在繼親收養後繼手足間有關民法第983條「禁婚親」之規定應視情況而適用。最後，除了繼親收養而形成法律上父母關係外，亦可引進外國法上之代位父母原則及繼父母登記制度兩種替代方式以利我國繼親家庭關係之形成。
除了探討異性戀形成之繼親家庭各角色之調適外，在《司法院釋字第748號解釋施行法》三讀通過後之同性婚姻亦有形成繼親家庭之可能，雖然同性伴侶有適用民法關於繼親收養之規定，惟本文以為，在法院為同性繼親收養之事件中，除增訂「法院不得以收養人是否為同性婚姻者而作差別待遇」之規定外，另應於施行法中或人工生殖法中納入同性伴侶始真正保障同性伴侶孕育、教養子女的權利。
「新型態」繼親家庭除了上述同性繼親家庭外，本文也將介紹老年父母再婚與成年子女所形成之繼親家庭，探討老年父母的再婚意願與成年子女間的關係；數次再婚所形成之家庭關係、父母心理狀態、子女面臨父母的多次婚姻關係之態度以及法律上應如何處理子女親權的分配、收養等問題，本文期待能藉由上述之討論對於繼親家庭在法律上之發展有更清晰之藍圖。

SUMMARY

This study is aimed at researching the step-families, a category of the non-traditional family. From the professional point of the civil legal regulations, using the research methods of documentary analysis, comparative law and literature review. This study would like to propose legislative loopholes and solutions of the step-families in Taiwan.
In the formation of the legal norms in step-families, this article believes that we should discuss the role of step-parents as the status of “De Facto Parents” in order to avoid stigmatization and delaying the progress of legislative formation. When adopting step-children, according to the J.Y. Interpretation No. 502 and the amendment of Art.1073.2 of the Civil law, this article believes that in addition to the minimum age gap, the maximum age gap should be amended. The provision of Art. 983 of the Civil law on the prohibition of marriage between step-siblings after adoption will be applicable depends on the case.
In addition to discussing the adjustment of the roles in the step-families formed by heterosexuality, same-sex marriage after the passage of the “ the Enforcement Act of the Judicial Yuan Interpretation No. 748 ”also has the possibility of forming a GL stepfamily；Except the GL stepfamily mentioned above, this article will also introduce the step-families which formed by elderly parents who remarried and their adult children；the step-families relationship formed by several remarriages. This article is aimed to provide a clearer picture of the legal development of step-families through the above discussion.
Key words：Step-Families, Adoption, GL Stepfamily
