ACCEPTED ANSWER

Extended family is the usual term covering in-laws, cousins, and so forth.
ANSWER 2
Score 16
I'd suggest you probably want distant:-
- Far apart in relationship: a distant cousin.
ANSWER 3
Score 2
The opposite of immediate relatives, to me, would be remote relatives. And "the word that describes family" would be, well, family.
ANSWER 4
Score 1
I would also say distant. I've never actually heard remote being used to refer to relatives who's ties to you are distant / far-apart.
ANSWER 5
Score 1
I hear (and use) "blended family" for the result of divorce, remarriage etc.
