There may be timing requirements depending upon your circumstances and where your spouse resides.\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\nTo be habitually resident in a country, your day to day life happens there. For example, you are classed as an habitual resident in the UK if your main place of work is based there, your children attend UK schools and most of your hobbies, friends and activities take place in or around the UK. Your current immigration status suggests that you are habitually resident.\r\n\u00a0\r\nYour country of domicile, on the other hand, is the nation you consider your permanent home. This may be the country in which you were born (in your case the Philippines) however, you can change where you are domiciled (known as\u00a0\u2018domicile by choice\u2019). Perhaps you were born in Manila but have lived in England for many decades and you consider it your home. In such cases, England, rather than the Philippines, is your country of domicile. Once again, your immigration status suggest that you consider the UK as your country of domicile by choice. It is important to stress that if either of these two aspects of domicile of choice was to change, this may have an impact upon the jurisdiction of the English Courts in relation to your marriage in the Philippines.\r\n\u00a0\r\nA divorce in the UK would then allow you to remarry in the UK if you wished to do so.\r\n\u00a0\r\nIt is worth pointing out though that your UK divorce may not be recognised in the Philippines and it is worth enquiring with a lawyer in that jurisdiction as to its status there.\r\n\u00a0\r\nIf I can assist you any further on this matter please give me a call on\u00a0020 7537 7000\u00a0or email guy@london-law.co.uk.\r\n\u00a0\r\nGuy Wilton\r\nSpecialist Family Lawyer","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Guy Wilton","url":""}},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https:\/\/staging.london-law.co.uk\/domicile-of-choice-divorce\/#Comment2","dateCreated":"2023-10-10 16:39:02","description":"Hi.\n\nI am a Filipino citizen currently with indefinite leave to remain in the UK.
