Results show that family achievement of quality life is dependent on parent and family contextual factors and child psychosocial functioning. It was also observed that socioeconomic disadvantage, parent stress and psychopathology, unhealthy interpersonal relations and limited social support negatively affect the attainment of quality family life.
