There are many types of families out there: married, single parent, divorced, domestic partners, widows and widowers, that's why the MetLife Mature Market Institute has released a series of financial planning tips with information specific to each family type.

Based on its recent study, "The New American Family: The MetLife Study of Family Structure and Financial Well-Being," MetLife is trying to address the many different types of financial stress that come along with varied family groups.
