P.R. Laws tit. 1, § 8
Every person has in law a domicile. In determining the place of domicile the following rules are to be observed:
(1) It is the place where one habitually resides when not called elsewhere for labor or other special or temporary purpose, and to which he returns in seasons of repose.
(2) There can only be one domicile.
(3) With respect to the jurisdiction of the courts a domicile cannot be lost until another is gained.
(4) The domicile of unemancipated minor children is the conjugal domicile of their parents or that of the parent having “the custody” in the event only one of the parents has it.
(5) The domicile of the wife is presumptively the same as that of the husband and vice versa. During a divorce suit or when the spouses are in fact living separately, there is acknowledged the right of each spouse to have his or her own domicile.
(6) The domicile of an unmarried minor subject to guardianship is the same as that of his tutor.
(7) Domicile can be changed only by the union of act and intent.
