Trump v. Barbara · ¶181

A child took on the domicile of his parents. Because any person incapable of establishing his own domicile had the domicile “of that person, on whom he depends for support,” it followed that generally “minor children ha[d] the settlement of their fathers.” Inhabitants of Dedham v. Inhabit ants of Natick, 16 Mass. 135, 139 (1819); accord, 1 Twiss 238–239. So, if a child was born to foreigners who did not permanently reside here, the child was not domiciled here. See Law of Domicil 69; A. Dicey & J. Moore, Digest of the Law of England 103 (1896) (Dicey & Moore).
