[quote=Anonymous]Well, I guess the "technical" definition of single parent is a parent raising a child/children who is not married. But there are all kinds of caveats to this as you point out. In the old days, judges tended to give custody to mothers and the fathers would take the kids every other weekend (that is how I grew up). Now, many fathers are given 50/50 custody or something close to it. Do they want to spend more time with their kids? Or do they not want to pay child support? It depends on the situation. I fall into the category of a single parent who does 24/7/365 parenting. My ex lives elsewhere and only visits when he is nearby. Occasionally I take my DD to visit him. But I do it all. I don't love being grouped into the same category as a mother like my neighbor whose ex has the kids half of the time. But it is what it is.[/quote]
