While we don't have concrete answers or advice - other than to encourage our fellow citizens (be they home educators OR not!) to become pro-active in becoming/staying informed about the subject(s) – and learning the Constitutions (state and U.S.) – here are some web sites that may be of help on the matter.

Special thanks to Eric, the Power Poster. :-)

Description


This list is an opportunity for homeschoolers involved in custody issues to contact other homeschoolers for information about homeschooling attorneys and experts, as well as exchange ideas and information about handling custody disputes as a result of homeschooling.

As a result of numerous inquiries, AHSA was formed by Linda J. Conrad, an attorney and then the Legal/Legislative Chair of the HomeSchool Association of California, and other attorney members of HSC. Because of the national interest in this network, it is open to attorneys and experts nationwide.

AHSA is a network of attorneys and legal experts that concerned with litigation pending and threatened against homeschoolers. Its primary purpose is to exchange legal information within the profession, and to educate and support attorneys and experts involved in homeschool litigation.

A referral list of attorneys and legal experts is maintained at http://www.ahsa-usa.org. Since specific factual situations can change the legal advise given, logging on to the AHSA-USA list or the AHSA-USA Homeschooling and Custody list does not create an attorney-client relationship with AHSA-USA, any member of AHSA-USA, or any attorney responding to questions on this list, and AHSA-USA recommends that an attorney be consulted for legal advise pertaining to specific situations.

The Rutherford Institute

Founded in 1982 by constitutional attorney and author John W. Whitehead, The Rutherford Institute is a civil liberties organization that provides free legal services to people whose constitutional and human rights have been threatened or violated.

The Rutherford Institute has emerged as one of the nation's leading advocates of civil liberties and human rights, litigating in the courts and educating the public on a wide spectrum of issues affecting individual freedom in the United States and around the world.

The Institute's mission is twofold: to provide legal services in the defense of religious and civil liberties and to educate the public on important issues affecting their constitutional freedoms.

Whether our attorneys are protecting the rights of parents whose children are strip-searched at school, standing up for a teacher fired for speaking about religion or defending the rights of individuals against illegal search and seizure, The Rutherford Institute offers assistance-and hope-to thousands.

The Indiana Code Now in English! :-)

We took a crack at explaining the Indiana education code in words we can understand. It's not legal advice, but it's the best we can do. Read IHEN's Indiana Legal Code Document. We also added a new commentary on The Reporting Enrollment Issue. Both are available now on Helping Hoosiers Homeschool since the turn of the century.
