Relationship
In forms in English we use the word relationship to indicate how you know a person such as a family member or a friend.
Are parentesco or consanguinidad used in the same way or do these words only refer to family relationships? If so what work is used to request a more general relationship?

Re: Relationship
Hi Joel,
I think you can just use the word "relación" in this context, its neutral and serves the purpose.
"Parentesco" and "consanguinidad" are formal words that exclusively indicate a family relationship so I don't think they would apply here.
Cheers,
Said.

Re: Relationship
Hi Detective:
You could also use "tipo de relación". Just a suggestion, hope it helps:)

Re: Relationship
In legal context "parentesco" is classified into:
"parentesco por consanguinidad": Family relationship (blood related)
and
"parentesco por afinidad": The relationship that a person has to the blood relatives of a spouse by virtue of the marriage.
