This is a reflection derived from research approached from the informed theory, which seeks to recognize the possible family reconfigurations present in ex-combatants of illegal armed groups in reintegration processes, and voluntary demobilization. To this end, a semi-structured interview validated by experts was applied, with which family transformations were explored according to three moments: before (structure), during (course), and after (trajectories), and according to the categories: family types, family dynamics, external relations, previous insurgent influences, intrafamily conflicts, and social-community conflicts. The results reveal that there are processes of familiarization without family formation during the stay in the insurgent group, while proto-family configurations that give rise, already in the post-conflict and outside the armed group, to reconfigurations of the family and new families.

Keywords : Armed Conflict; Demobilized; Ex-Combatants; Insurgent Groups; Post-Conflict; and Reinsertion.
