Domicile,'' in order to constitute one as an in-state student, means that Arkansas is the legal home and place of permanent living of such student for all purposes, and that the intention to make one's permanent home here has been manifested objectively by good faith acts, and that mere physical presence here is alone insufficient. In this sense, domicile is the equivalent of a legal residence. The rules require that a domiciliary of Arkansas be also physically present in such domiciliary status in Arkansas for at least six continuous months prior to recognition of that status for fee purposes. Neither the mere fact of presence in Arkansas with his or her children while the latter are attending a college or university or some other educational institution in Arkansas, nor the mere ownership of property located in Arkansas is sufficient proof of such local domicile and place of residing, but are to be considered together with all pertinent circumstances. Establishment of guardianship or adoption for the purpose of evading fees will not be recognized.
Marriage constitutes emancipation of minors, both male and female.
Determination of local domicile shall be based on a review of all pertinent factors and circumstances which collectively may reasonably be deemed to objectively manifest a state of mind regarding domicile. Students living in the states bordering Arkansas who receive mail at an Arkansas post office are not domiciliaries of Arkansas. A person in the armed forces does not gain or lose resident status by merely being in the military service.
