Residence refers to the place where citizens live continuously for a reasonable period of time.
The place of residence in civil law is different from the place of habitual residence. Paragraph 2 of Article 12 of the Supreme People's Court's Interpretation on Application (20 15) stipulates that if the husband and wife have left their place of residence for more than one year, the case of one party suing for divorce shall be under the jurisdiction of the people's court where the defendant has his habitual residence; If there is no habitual residence, it shall be under the jurisdiction of the people's court where the defendant has his domicile when the plaintiff files a lawsuit.
It can be seen that the establishment of the residence does not need to meet the standard of continuous residence for one year, but it still needs to live for a certain reasonable period, and the specific time is judged by the court according to the actual situation of the case.
