SEPARATED PARENTS

It is perfectly appropriate to include step-parents, or omit their names all together.
Every family is unique, so talk with your families to see what works for everyone involved.

Using 'and' or 'together with' between the parents' names is recommended for design esthetic and readability.
It is also appropriate for each name to live on its on separate line.
