Legal Question in Constitutional Law in Louisiana

Re: residency

Residency is defined as where you live. Some states require you to live in state for some length of time before you can be considered a "resident" for purposes of state schooling, etc., but you are legally a resident when you move there.

Domicile, which is more than mere residency, is defined as your permanent home. It means where you intend to live or return to as your permanent home. In other words, when teenagers go off to college, their residency may be where the university is, but their domicile is still at their parents' home, where they intend to return.

Things like where you vote, where your family is, where your car is registered and your driver's license issued, whether you own property somewhere or rent, and other factors such as that determine your domicile.

It sounds to me as if you are still domiciled in Louisiana and only residing in Mass.

Military lawyers deal with these issues more often than do civilian lawyers. If you are asking for a specific reason dealing with the military, I would suggest that you speak to a military lawyer. I believe they will speak with you without charge.
