Definition


A single parent is a parent with one or more children, who is/are not living with the child's/children's other parents. The definition of single parenthood may vary according to local laws of nations or provinces. A parent may become after divorce, after abandonment by the other parent, separation from the other parent, by the jailing of the other parent or after the other parent has died or a single parent may arise if the child was born to a unmarried mother or a teenager mother.

A single parent can occur from adoption of a child. This means the single parent need not be the biological mother or father of the child (children) as some individuals choose to become single parents through natural or artificial insemination, adoption or they may have taken on the role of parent due to a variety of circumstances including one or both the biological parents being unable to care for the child, death of one or both parent, inability of extended family to care for the child, or parental abandonment of the child.

In most cases the mother retains custody of her child or children, although the father usually obtains custody in Islamic republics. Among divorced single parents in the U.S., according to the U.S. Census Bureau, only 15% of custodial parents in 2002 were men.
