The residence of the parent with whom an unmarried minor (under the age of 18)
lives is the residence of the unmarried minor. When the unmarried minor does not
live with either parent, the residence of the unmarried minor is that of the parent with whom
the unmarried minor last lived. An unmarried minor may establish his or her own
residence when both parents are deceased and a legal guardian has not been appointed unless
the unmarried minor
is a minor alien who is precluded by the Immigration and Nationality Act
from establishing domicile in the U.S. The residence of an unmarried
minor who has a parent living cannot be changed by the unmarried minor's
own act, by the appointment of a legal guardian, or by the relinquishment
of a parent's right of control. Please read this disclaimer... |
