cuarto grado de consanguinidad, segundo de afinidad o primero civil

fourth degree of blood relationship, second degree of relationship through marriage or a spouse

Supongo que "primero civil" sería el cónyuge. "Afinidad", parientes políticos.

Explanation:
...or first grade of civil relationship or relationship by adoption
Era un poca larga la frase, la terminé aquí.
Relationship "in-law" es la relación por afinidad o sea, suegro, suegra, nuera, etc.
La relación civil es "relationship by adoption" o "civil relationship".
Espero sirva.

Explanation:
By the way, your text said "segundo de afinidad" -- not the same thing! The first example below exactly mirrors your text -- though I had already worked it out before I found this example.

IMPORTANT NOTE: "Degree of consanguinity" is a common legal term in English, so there's no need to explain that it means "blood relationship." In fact, these definitions vary from one jurisdiction to another, so the lines are not clear-cut between "blood relationship," "kinship," "civil relationship," and "relationship by marriage." Hence, I would suggest you avoid getting into trouble by sticking with what you have -- namely: "affinity," "consanguinity," and "civil relationship."

Perdón, afFinity.

Yo concuerdo con Muriel en el sentido que no te deberías enredar con \"blood relationship\" etc., cuando hay términos que se ajustan exactamente a lo que tu tienes que traducir.

Me parece además que Muriel puede tener razón en cuanto al último \"grado\", del cual yo ya te había comentado que no estaba muy segura.

agree  Ana Brause: Estoy de acuerdo con las primeras dos opciones... tengo dudas respecto a la tercera. En Cabanelas figura parentesco civil como relationship which occurs by law (e.g. adoption). Quizás sería bueno saber el origen del texto. Saludos y buen fin de semana :o)
