Re: lost rights
Usually six months is required for changing the domicile or residence of a spouse and child. The change will determine which State's law will control and which judge or group of judge will likely decide the case. Also, the party residing close to the trial location has a home town advantage because the distant party will have to factor into his or her decisions the cost of travel and temporary residence to attend litigation.
