Non-custodial parent

A non-custodial parent is a parent who does not have primary physical custody of their child, but often remains actively involved in the child’s life through visitation, financial support, and decision-making. This role can include navigating legal arrangements, maintaining a strong parent-child relationship despite limited time together, and collaborating with the custodial parent to ensure the child’s well-being. Challenges faced by non-custodial parents often involve balancing responsibilities, communication, and managing emotions related to shared parenting.
