In a child custody arrangement, the custodial parent is responsible for the day-to-day care and decision-making for the child, while the non-custodial parent typically has visitation rights and is required to provide financial support. The custodial parent has more authority in making important decisions for the child, while the non-custodial parent has the right to spend time with the child according to the custody agreement.
