103 A. 307 | N.H. | 1918
One essential requirement to a decree for a divorce is that it must appear that the libelant was a resident of, or had his legal domicile in, this state, when the libel was filed. Shatney v. Shatney,
The fact that the plaintiff had a domicile in Portsmouth until he left the state and the fact that he has acquired no new domicile are determinative of the question transferred. For jurisdictional purposes a legal domicile once existing continues until another is acquired. This principle was applied in Ayer v. Weeks,
Case discharged.
