Simple English definitions for legal terms

absent parent

Read a random definition: Q.S.

A quick definition of absent parent:

An absent parent is a parent who is not living with their child. This can happen when parents get divorced or separated, or if one parent is not involved in their child's life. The absent parent is also called the noncustodial parent because they do not have custody of the child. The custodial parent is the one who lives with the child and takes care of them. It's important for children to have a relationship with both parents, even if they don't live together.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An absent parent is a parent who does not have primary custody of their child. They may or may not have visitation rights. This term is often used interchangeably with noncustodial parent.

Example: John and Sarah are divorced, and Sarah has primary custody of their child. John is an absent parent because he does not have primary custody of their child.

Explanation: The example illustrates the definition of an absent parent. John is not the primary caregiver for his child, so he is considered an absent parent. This term is used to describe a parent's custody status and does not necessarily reflect their level of involvement or commitment to their child's well-being.
