Abstract
We propose an alternative definition for families of stable pairs (X, D) over an arbitrary (possibly non-reduced) base in the case in which D is reduced, by replacing (X, D) with an appropriate orbifold pair \((\mathcal {X},\mathcal {D})\). This definition of a stable family ends up being equivalent to previous ones, but has the advantage of being more amenable to the tools of deformation theory. Adjunction for \((\mathcal {X},\mathcal {D})\) holds on the nose; there is no correction term coming from the different. This leads to the existence of functorial gluing morphisms for families of stable surfaces and functorial morphisms from \((n + 1)\) dimensional stable pairs to n dimensional polarized orbispaces. As an application, we study the deformation theory of some surface pairs.

Notes
In this setting the family of divisors is automatically flat (see Corollary 3.6).
The volume of a line bundle on \(\mathcal {X}\) is defined to be the volume of the corresponding \(\mathbb {Q}\)-Cartier divisor on the coarse space.
For properties of group quotients of DM stack, see [40].
Such pushouts are often called pinchings or Ferrand pushouts.
