Besides homesteading, raising a family can be impacted by a 'progressive' legal environment. Family law, CPS, homeschooling laws, all effect your daily life as a family and your overall sense of well being. Without a strong culture and case law for presumptive shared custody in your jurisdiction, every spat you may have with your wife could be effected by the broader consequences of your decisions. Familial privacy and rights to parenting as you see fit can be impacted by a poorly managed child protection services system, so much so that anything you even say to your children about your beliefs might be self-censored for fear of naive lips spilling out an inconvenient truth to a mandated reported. Homeschooling laws are another with policies varying dramatically from one state to the next and even from one county to the next. Do research, look into HSLDA membership, and chose wisely where you cast your roots.
