Shared Parental Responsibility in the Context of Homeschooling for Married Parents

Abstract

The term shared parental responsibility is better known in the realm of family law, where both parents who have separated have the same obligation to care for and educate their children after divorce. However, the obligation to nurture and educate children is not only for divorced parents. So, the urgency of this study is how intact parents ideally share responsibilities in parenting and educating, especially if they undergo homeschooling for their children. The aim of this article is to analyze shared parental responsibility in the realm of homeschooling in married parents. The method used in this article is a literature study by collecting and studying articles searched through Google Scholar, Research Gate, and SAGE related to shared parental responsibility which includes aspects of decision-making, parental involvement, and emotional support in the 2015-2025 publication period. Based on the results of the literature reviewed, it is known that the division of responsibility between parents ranges from the involvement of both parents in making decisions to choose homeschooling to providing interrelated emotional support in improving children's academic performance during homeschooling as well as emotional attachment between parents and children.
