Title 19, Chapter 2, Section 4
( 19-2-4)
(a) If a minor child's parents are domiciled in the same county, the
domicile of that child shall be that of the parents. If a minor
child's parents are divorced, separated, or widowed, or if one
parent is not domiciled in the same county as the other parent, the
child's domicile shall be that of the custodial parent. The
domicile of a minor child born out of wedlock shall be that of the
child's mother. (b) Where a child's parents have voluntarily relinquished custody of
the child to a third person or have been deprived of custody by
court order, the child's domicile shall be that of the person having
legal custody of the child. If there is no legal custodian, the
child's domicile shall be that of his guardian if the guardian is
domiciled in this state. If there is neither a legal custodian nor a
guardian, the domicile of the child shall be determined as if he
were an adult. |
