## Definition

Familial status refers to the presence of children under the age of 18 in a family, including pregnant women and individuals in the process of adopting or securing legal custody of a child. This classification is protected under various anti-discrimination laws, such as the Fair Housing Act in the United States, which prohibits discrimination in housing based on familial status (among other bases).
