domicile

Read a random definition: intendment

A quick definition of domicile:

Domicile: Domicile means the place where someone really lives and considers as their home. It is the place where they intend to return even if they are currently living somewhere else. Knowing where someone is domiciled is important in legal matters.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Domicile refers to a person's true, main, and permanent home. It's the place where someone has lived, considers as their home, and plans to return to even if they are currently living somewhere else. Knowing where someone is domiciled is important in the field of civil procedure.

  • John was born and raised in New York City. He went to college in California and then moved to Texas for work. Even though he's living in Texas now, his domicile is still New York City because that's where he considers his true home.
  • Samantha is a digital nomad who travels the world while working remotely. She doesn't have a permanent address, but her domicile is her parents' house in Ohio because that's where she grew up and plans to return to eventually.

These examples illustrate how domicile is the place where someone considers their true home, even if they are currently living somewhere else. It's important to know someone's domicile in civil procedure because it determines which court has jurisdiction over a case.
