Hi all, just looking for what I think is a fairly easy answer (only easy, if of course you know the answer).

Both myself and my hopefully soon to be ex wife have always and still do live in England.

Whilst filling in Form D8, Section 3 refers to the Courts Jurisdiction. The notes give 6 paragraphs, the need to be included in the D8 form, but I'm struggling to work out the difference between
"The Petitioner and the Respondent are both DOMICILED in Eng and Wal", and, "The Petitioner and the Respondent are both HABITUALLY RESIDENT in Eng and Wal".

Should I include both paragraphs, or one of the above? If one, which one?

Many thanks in advance.
