Cambio de Domicilio y Residencia Legal en Georgia

Explicación Simple

El domicilio es el lugar donde vives de manera permanente. Si te mudas temporalmente, como para estudiar, y no planeas quedarte para siempre, no cambias tu domicilio legal.

Es como si te fueras de vacaciones a la playa por un mes. Aunque estés lejos, sigues siendo parte de tu hogar y no has cambiado tu dirección permanente.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Carlos se muda a Atlanta por seis meses para estudiar en una universidad. Aunque vive allí temporalmente, sigue considerando su casa en Savannah como su hogar, ya que no tiene intención de quedarse en Atlanta para siempre.
