A "caretaker-relative" is an individual who is not a parent, but who:
· Is a "relative of a specified degree" of a dependent child; and
· Is living with and assuming continuous responsibility for day-to-day care of the dependent child in a place of residence maintained as their own home.
A "relative of specified degree" of the dependent child is:
· Any blood relative, including those of half-blood and including first cousins, nephews or nieces and persons of preceding generations as denoted by prefixes of grand, great, or great-great;
· A stepfather, stepmother, stepbrother, and stepsister;
· A relative by adoption; the same relatives by adoption as listed above: including first cousins, nephews or nieces and persons of preceding generations as denoted by prefixes of grand, great, or great-great, and stepfather, stepmother, stepbrother, and stepsister.
· Spouses of any persons named in the above groups even after the marriage is terminated by death or divorce.
Neither severance of parental rights nor adoption terminates the relationship to biological relatives.
