8. Jurisdiction
This chapter deals with the European law governing jurisdiction in divorce and the international law concepts that are a feature of this area of law. It discusses the increasingly important question of jurisdiction in divorce proceedings, and explains the concepts of ‘domicile’which includes domicile of origin, domicile of dependence, and domicile of choice. It also explains the concept of ‘habitual residence’ as how both domicile and habitual residence apply to divorce proceedings. There is finally an outline of jurisdiction in practice and the rule that if the domicile of a client is uncertain then habitual residence is usually easier to establish. There is some mention of Brexit.
