So my husband and I are making the leep....well starting the process anyway and we had a few questions after lots of research ( still loads more to do) Currently, I have three random questionsthe first one is we have 2 children and currently homeschool. We are registered to homeschool in MD and are required here to have 2 reviews. Our daughter has her end of year one coming up so I will ask about email/phone/video chat type reviews but how do other people do it? Are we still technically required to check in with our county in MD or since we won't be residence technically how does that work? We aren't part of a cohort or charter school we do it on our own. the second one is kind of related to the first. But taxes how does that work? My husband has a remote job in the state we live in do we still file state taxes under that state as residences? I will, of course, consult an accountant but was just curious what your experiences were. My third is I am sure asked a lot. Doctor visits? we have an 11 year old and a 18mth old who still need their yearly apts. Those who travel with children how do you handle when they need shots or get sick? Sorry for all the questions we are just trying to learn as much as we can from people that are already there :) thanks so much in advance

That's ambitious full timing with a 18 month old

Are you planning on maintaining Md as your domicile? You said your husband has a remote job does he still have to physically go to a specific location? If not you could theoretically go anywhere and re-establish domicile and one aspect of how/where you choose would no doubt be the states regulations for homeschooling. You need to give a little more info to get much help.

I know it doesn't compare but we just did Europe for 3 weeks are realized how much stuff we had and didnt need and how much responsibility we have accumulated with that stuff which lead us to this decision. We have some work to do before we hit the road but we are pretty excited as a family.

Then I'll make a couple of suggestions, 1. search homeschooling in the search bar above. there are many discussions on the subject and some of the families there I'm sure would not mind a private message to inquire what they have found. 2. Look hard at different states and research their rules for homeschooling, As ex military I know folks I was stationed with talked about widely varying rules, so pick your new domicile carefully. 3 Other things to consider taxes, mail delivery, insurance health and otherwise, again use the above search bar, you will find a wealth of information and experienceGood LuckRuss

Thank you. We have insurance through my husbands work and we know about escapees.... well kind of just that it exists and it is the option most full timers use for mail delivery.

you are correct in that every state has different homeschool laws I just didnt know how those who have done it go about registering their intent and reviews. Sorry if I posted in the wrong space I didn't search but did look for a homeschool thread and didn't see one so i figured the full-time thread was the best option thank you for your advice :)
