Never, ever, EVER ask questions about family life in an interview in the United States, unless the candidate brings it up first. Asking them isn't illegal per se, but if you do ask them and the candidate isn't hired, you've opened the door to a discrimination lawsuit. If the candidate brings it up first, it's fair game for conversation, but still off-limits for hiring consideration.
