Residence establishes domicile.

Explanation

A person's actual dwelling place, where he habitually resides with intent to remain, fixes his legal domicile for purposes of jurisdiction, taxation, and civil status.

Where this applies

• A person who has lived and worked in a state for ten years claims that state as her legal domicile for tax purposes, even though she was originally from another state.
• A college student votes in the state where he attends school and rents an apartment, arguing that his actual residence there establishes his domicile.
• A retiree moves to Florida permanently and changes her driver's license and voter registration, establishing Florida as her domicile for purposes of state jurisdiction.
