RDRM22220 - Domicile: Categories of domicile: Domicile of dependence - Children whose parents live apart - England, Wales and Northern Ireland
Section 4 of the DMPA 1973 applies in England, Wales and Northern Ireland only.
This legislation preserves and extends the circumstances in which the domicile of a legitimate or legitimated child (refer to RDRM22210) will depend on that of its mother. In order for the legislation to apply the child바카라 사이트™s parents have to be living apart.
Where a child has a home with its mother and no home with its father, the child바카라 사이트™s domicile is dependent on and follows that of its mother.
This also applies where the child has ceased to have a home with its mother but has not since had a home with its father.
If a child바카라 사이트™s mother dies and by reference to the criteria in the previous paragraph the child바카라 사이트™s domicile would have depended on its mother바카라 사이트™s domicile at the time of her death, the child retains the domicile that its mother had immediately prior to her death.
In any other case the child바카라 사이트™s domicile follows that of its father.
The question of whether or not a child has a home with either or both of its parents is essentially one of fact.
