I can't enter my "father" without him being married to my mother, which they never were... every time I click "ex-partner" instead of "spouse" it takes away the fact that he's my father. FIX THIS, not everyone has a non-spicy family history.

Anja Hellevi Parviainen Hello, You can change it later in his Profile> Edit Profile> Relationship> choose Partner> Save
Or in the beginning, if You started from You father, You maybe could choose the partner.
If not help, You can make Your father and to him a new partner, Your mother and then bring Your two mothers together.
Hope this will help :)

Jeroen M.W. van Dijk This is a feature or a bug. The fact that he is your father does not mean that your mother and father are married. But most parents are married. So please work around it and take the hint that geni thinks that they are married and correct it as soon as possible. The same goes for non-biological parents this needs to be corrected after creation of the profiel.
If you still thinks this needs to be fixed, Please say so. But there is a workaround. And too little money to fix every feature.

Jane Marie Randolph I have similar issue where the father had two children from different women whom he never married . Not were o e night stands where he later connected with the children . I decided for now not to bother entering the mother's at all .Though it would be good if I could for connectivity to the community idea of genI.

Bjørn P. Brox Take a closer look in the Relationships tab under edit profile.
For relationship between biological parents you can change it to partners or ex-partners instead of married (some prefer partners as in sexual partners since the ex-notations indicates a long relationship).
For the child-parent(s) relationship you can choose between biological, adoptive and foster, i.e. you can add multiple parents to a child where you classify which connection.

Bjørn P. Brox While at the Relationship-tab you will also see that the parent listing is a pull-down menu where you can select who is your parents after adding the extra spouse to your father.
If you want your fathers wife as your adoptive mother you have to connect her to you as an extra parent which you classify as an adoptive connection.

The software do support no-traditional parents-child relations, but that option is not the standard option. So you have to accept the fact that you need to change the type of relation afterwards.
The standard traditional situation is set as the standard option.
If you change it in partners then you get close to the fact that the parents are just parents without asking then they are married or not and when the relationship started.
