I'm translating a Child Support form, and they're asking for "Your Nearest Living Relative" (name, relationship, and other data).
Is this my still living relative who is nearest by blood, or my relative who lives at a shorter distance from me? Thanks.

pariente que viva más cerca /próximo a ti
parece un juego de palabras, pero coincido con Perfecta, para mi no se refiere a los parientes vivos más cercanos en cuanto a sangre si no a los parientes que viven más próximos a su domicilio.

Roger Parks
: Aunque la expresión es ambigua, "nearest living relative" se emplea en formularios oficiales de todo tipo y casi nunca se refiere a la proximidad geográfica.

"tu familiar más cercano" y "el familiar que viva más próximo a tí/tu domicilio habitual"
El texto te dará la pista correcta, ya que "your nearest living relative", en ese contexto, puede interpretarse de dos maneras:
1) "tu familiar más cercano" (en grado consanguíneo)
2) "el familiar que viva más próximo a tí" (el que viva más cerca del domicilio habitual del niño o de donde ha vivido hasta ahora).
