weekend dads
Custody-sharing fathers only
Weekend dads are fathers who see their children only on weekends, typically due to custody arrangements following divorce or separation.
The term often carries a slightly dismissive tone, suggesting limited involvement in day-to-day parenting: He's one of those weekend dads who shows up with gifts but doesn't help with homework.
The phrase can also describe fathers who, though living at home, engage with their children only when work allows.
