The article reveals the empirical results of a sociological study in order to identify the impact of the status of Saratov servicemen after the end of military service on their family relations. The study was conducted by questionnaire method. 356 former Saratov servicemen - reserve offi cers were interviewed using a probabilistic quota-territorial sample. The results were processed in the SPSS program. It turned out that the higher the rank of a reserve offi cer, the more children in his family, the better his material support and intra-family relations. The exceptions are former military personnel in the rank of captain and colonel. Among the latter, indifference in relations with the wife is more often dominant, which is a consequence of the transition of the family to the stage of the “empty nest”, in which children grow up and leave the family, only elderly spouses remain. At the same time, the proportion of former officers who do not help their spouses is decreasing. Also, at the same time, interest in children decreases, which may be associated with their growing up. Thus, it has been proved that the military status of a reserve officer directly has a positive effect on his family situation.
