Like is this a life span assuming no interference with a death note?

If so, What if someone used the death note to kill someones family. Then through their own free will they to want to commit suicide out of grief. Would the time already know that?

What about for Light or Misa Misa? Would the shinigami know she would have asked for it and then the life span would have already had the cut?

A person's lifespan is preordained, except when the death note is involved.

I'm not sure if the series ever addresses this particular example, but my understanding is that the displayed remaining life-span adjusts itself automatically when the death note is used, its not taken into account before hand.

I don't think individual shinigami have any control over it or knowledge about it, they can just read what a person's lifespan is. Maybe the shinigami's king does, but we don't see much of him. Remember, most of the shinigami only go into the human world when they need to extend their lifespan. Shinigami like Ryuk or Rem are rare.

A man is sitting in a tavern in Damascus. He looks up from his wine and sees Death staring at him across the room. He cries out, But this cannot be my time!
He flees Damascus, he rides his horse fast, right across the desert to Samarra. When he arrives, hes thirsty. Standing before him at the well is Death.
On seeing Death for the second time, the man cries out, This cannot be! For I escaped you in Damascus.
And Death, he lays his hand upon the shoulder of the man and says, I also was surprised to see you in Damascus for my appointment with you, it was always to be here in Samarra.

In Death Note, Misa's life is saved because a shinigami took a liking to her and rescued her from a death by intervening and rescuing her from a man that was destined to kill her. Since her lifespan was meant to run out at the moment she was meant to be killed by another human that lends some credence to the theory that life in the Death Note universe is predetermined and that the only things that can disrupt your fate are shinigamis disrupting the flow of life and fate through the results of them writing in the Death Note, or from them being bored and just dropping a Death Note into the world and seeing what happens.
