Preferred term

nonresidential mother  

Definition

  • The term nonresidential mother refers to a woman who does not reside continuously with her dependent children. This alternative term is receiving more use of late partly because it more accurately reflects the broad range of living arrangements and familial relationships associated with women who live apart from their children.
