Have a look at the RELATIONSHIP vocabulary [1].
It provides subproperties of foaf:knows to define this kind of relationships, eg

:me rel:colleagueOf :Andrew

In case you need more properties, you can extend it regarding your
needs (and discuss here I think, in case you think some might be added
in the vocabulary, as "has family relationship with").

Best,

Alex.
