an interesting thing about Clan is how the married Goethals sisters (Veerle/Ursula, Bibi, Goedele/Grace) appear to have taken their husband's last name and are referred to as Mrs. [husband's last name]. And while this is something that has a history in Belgium, nowadays it's considered pretty old-fashioned, especially to the extent that it's presented in the series. This contributes to the kind of small town, old-fashioned, narrow-minded town vibes which become important later on. One reason why the sisters don't just turn JP in to the police for the fraud with his dad's retirement, is because the small-town gossip mill would absolutely chew up and spit out Goedele/Grace and Bloeme/Blanaid. It gives further justification to the "we have to do things ourselves" approach.
