This should be accepted. It’s a perfectly valid sentence if you’re talking about a different family to yours. Unless of course you would have to use a different Portuguese sentence for such a situation.

I wondered almost the same as I put "What is the profession of the dad?", which is not particularly strange sounding in English.
I can think of several contexts where it would be perfectly natural in English to say, "What is the father's occupation?" Filling family info into a form for an absent person, for example. My question, though: Would the Portuguese be used in places where the more natural English phrase would be "your father's occupation?"
