Which parent is the non-custodial parent?

A noncustodial parent is a parent who does not have physical custody of his or her minor child as the result of a court order. When the child only lives with one parent, in a sole custody arrangement, then the parent with which the child lives is the custodial parent while the other parent is the non-custodial parent.

A non-custodial parent is the parent whose children do not live with them for a majority of the time. This situation usually arises after separation or divorce, where one parent has primary physical custody instead of the parents sharing joint custody.
