custody - public schooling v. home schooling - no presumption

Staub v. Staub - Superior Court - October 21, 2008

The court rejected father's request that it "adopt a clear but narrow rule that requires children to attend public schools when parents who share legal custody cannot agree on home schooling versus public schooling. We decline to adopt such a rule or presumption. To the contrary, we hold that the well-established best interests standard, applied on a case by case basis, governs a court’s decision regarding public schooling versus home schooling."
