* Father: '''Dr. Warrin Jojovich'''
* Father: '''Dr. Warrin Jojovich'''
Jojovich and her father shared a somewhat strained relationship for most of Jo’s life. When Jo was three, Warrin left to serve in Starfleet and was away from home on an exploration. They communicated only though calls and seldom met in person, and Warrin was basically estranged from his wife and young daughter during his time in the Fleet. While he was away, he fell in love with a woman named Esme Sanford, and had a son with her while still married to Jo’s mother, Jean Collins. Jean divorced him and took custody of Jojovich, who already shared both her mother’s and and father’s last names. Jo saw her father a few times a year until she graduated high school at seventeen. Her younger half-brother, whom she now knew as Tau, lived with her father in California now. Warrin had joined a family practice so he could stay on earth with Tau’s mother. When Jo travelled to California to attend college and medical school, she lived with the Warrin and Esme and finally began to build a relationship with Warrin, who stepped into the role of a doting father like it was made for him. However, when Jo decided to do her residency away from home, the two lost contact. Jojovich suspects that it was because Warrin felt betrayed that she didn’t stay on earth to work at his practice.

*  Mother: '''Dr. Jean Collins'''
*  Mother: '''Dr. Jean Collins'''
Dr. Collins worked as a xenobiologist and lab specialist in Seattle where she had originally settled with her husband and Jo. Jean took care of Jojovich essentially as a single mother after Warrin left to serve in the Fleet. She and Jo were very close when Jo was a child, and when she learned that her husband had conceived a child with another woman, she was quick to divorce him and take Jo’s custody for herself, hoping to protect her daughter from the man who’d bruised her heart. As Jo grew up, Jean began to suspect that Washington was getting too small for Jojovich, and suggested that if Jo wanted some space, she should seek out-of-state education. She didn’t expect Jo to propose that she stayed with her ex-husband’s new family, but nevertheless supported Jo and kept in contact with her through her education. Jo made sure to visit her mother as often as she could through her education and residency with Teneck, and into the present is still close with her.
