In order to determine whether North Carolina will afford recognition to the Syrian divorce in this case, there must be a consideration of any jurisdictional questions which may exist. Jurisdiction in divorce proceedings stems from the concept of domicile. Domicile denotes one's permanent, established home as distinguished from a temporary, although actual, place of residence . . . . It is the place where he intends to remain permanently, or for an indefinite length of time. Although a person may have more than one residence, he can only have one domicile.
Domicile is a question of fact to be determined by the finder of fact.
35 N.C. App. In his affidavit, defendant maintains that his domicile is in Syria. As a Syrian domiciliary, defendant might likely expect North Carolina to recognize his Syrian divorce from plaintiff, since the jurisdictional requirement for comity would be met. However, the evidence before us raises a genuine issue of material fact as to whether defendant has changed his domicile to North Carolina. In Farnsworth, supra , this Court discussed the determination of domicile when there is a dispute as to a change in domicile.
