The 730-day and 180-day tests and some state residency
requirements use domicile, not residence. Domicile is
established by physical presence in a place with
intent to remain there for an unlimited or indefinite period of
time. Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians v. Holyfield, 490 U.S.
30, (1989); Freeman v. Northwest Acceptance Corp., 754 F.2d
553 (5th Cir.1985). A person can have only one domicile at a
particular time, even though he may have several residences.
Williamson v. Osenton, 232 U.S. 619 (1914). In re Sparfven,
265 B.R. 506, 518–19 (Bankr.D.Mass.2001) (“when a person
has more than one residence, intent is particularly relevant”).
Some factors considered in establishing domicile include: (1)
current residence; (2) voting registration and voting practices;
(3) location of spouse and family; (4) location of personal or
real property; (5) location of brokerage and bank accounts; (6)
memberships in churches, clubs, unions and other
organizations; (7) location of a person's physician, lawyer,
accountant, dentist and stockbroker; (8) place of employment
or business; (9) driver's license and automobile registration;
and (10) payment of taxes. In re Stone, 329 B.R. 860 (N.D.
Iowa 2005).
