We define a Deligne-Mumford stack XD,r which depends on a scheme X, an effective Cartier divisor D ⊂ X, and a positive integer r. Then we show that the Abramovich-Vistoli moduli stack of stable maps into XD,r provides compactifications of the locally closed substacks of M g,n(X, β) corresponding to relative stable maps.
