non-custodial parents

Non-custodial parents are parents who do not have primary physical custody of their children after a separation or divorce. This means the children primarily live with the custodial parent, while the non-custodial parent typically has visitation rights or scheduled time to see their children. Non-custodial parents often have financial responsibilities, including child support payments, to help cover the children's needs. The arrangement aims to ensure that both parents remain involved in their children's lives, fostering relationships despite the living situation.
