Children's Residence: What It Is and How It Works
Children's residence is the habitual place of abode where a minor is registered in the registry, crucial for single parents navigating separation and custody.
Definition of Children's Residence
The children's residence indicates the place where minors habitually live and where they are officially registered in the municipal registry. In cases of separation or divorce, the residence usually coincides with the home of the custodial parent/glossary/custodial-parent, meaning the parent with whom the child lives most of the time.
Legal and Practical Context
Within single parenthood, the choice of residence is an ordinary administration decision if agreed upon, but becomes extraordinary administration in the event of a move relocation to another city. Even under shared custody/glossary/shared-custody, it is necessary to establish a primary registered residence for managing school, health, and administrative communications. However, this primary residence should not prejudice the right to biparentality/glossary/biparentality.
Difference Between Residence and Domicile
It is crucial not to confuse the concept of residence with that of domicile. While residence is the habitual place of abode, children maintain their domicile with both parents to ensure the exercise of parental responsibilities by both, regardless of where the main registered residence is established.
