The domicile of an infant will be that of his father, unless the father is dead or the custody of the child has been decreed to the mother, in which case the domicile of the mother will govern that of the child.

An infant cannot by his own act change his domicile, at least, unless his parents are dead or have abandoned him. Upon the abandonment of child by-parent, the parent loses the right to fix the domicile of the child, and such domicile may be fixed either by the child himself or by the parties to whom his custody may be given.

The domicile of an adopted child will be that of his adopting parents.2
