When a person is legally allowed to change their domicile of origin they can acquire a domicile of choice. However, until an individual obtains a new domicile of choice their domicile of origin remains. Domicile of choice can be achieved by intention and residence. This means that if an individual is living in a country and leaves it with the intention to return, then they will not have a domicile in the country they went to, instead their domicile or origin will remain. As stated in the "Foote Estate, Re" case, a domicile of choice can be lost or abandoned if certain factors are met.
