habitual residence vs domicile

My comment:

Hi !

Although domicile and residence are frequently used as if they have the same meaning they are not synonymous. A person can have two residences but only one domicile. Residence requires bodily presence although domicile requires bodily presence AND intention to make it one's permanent home.

This is an important distinction when it comes to find where you pay taxes or when you start proceedings. The issue of jurisdiction is governed by a EU regulation, Brussels II.

Note: Domicile is being supplanted by habitual residence in international conventions dealing with Conflict and other private law matters.
