What is Marriage to an Idaho Resident?

You are married to a person who is classified, or eligible for classification, as an Idaho resident for the purpose of attending an institution, except that if you were enrolled full-time in any term during the 12-month period before the term in which you are proposing to enroll as a resident, then you must independently establish domicile.

Domicile is an individual’s true, fixed and permanent home and place of habitation; it is the place where the individual intends to remain and expects to return to when leaving without establishing a new domicile elsewhere.
