I believe the answer is:

kinetic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'moving' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'family standard husband abandoned when' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'family' could be 'kin' (synonyms) and 'kin' is present in the answer.
'when' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'tic' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
