3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"Whether the child was a resident of the Darden household is the crucial question. Resident has been found to have many definitions and meanings. Its construction depends on the context and the subject matter and `its meaning is to be determined from the facts and circumstances taken together in each particular case.' Bearden v. Rucker, 437 So.2d 1116, 1120 (La.1983), quoting Mathis v. Employers' Fire Insurance Company, 399 So.2d 273 (Ala.1981). In Black's Law Dictionary (5th Ed. 1979) resident is defined as `a dweller, habitant or occupant; one who resides or dwells in a place for a period of more, or less, duration; it signifies one having a residence, or one who resides or abides.' Household is defined as `[a] family living together.... Those who dwell under the same roof and compose a family.'”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“This court has held that the phrase “residents of the named insured’s household” is not ambiguous as applied to particular situations (e.g. a child’s residency in his mother’s household). Schoemann v. Skate Country, Inc., 459 So.2d 743 (La.App. 4 Cir.1984). We do not find this policy’s language ambiguous under these circumstances. Henry was residing with the Dardens as a foster child. He had been living under the same roof for many months and would have continued to live with them for an indefinite period of time had the tragic injury not occurred. Henry was placed in the home in order that the Dardens could supply a parental and family relationship. The policy’s exclusion is clear and unambiguous. The only possible ambiguity occurs in the definition of insured in the inclusionary language of the policy. Even if the phrase is considered ambiguous, the ambiguity would generally be resolved in favor of coverage. In this instance if the child is covered under the policy, as a result of the exclusion of the bodily |9injury of an insured, recovery under the homeowner’s policy must be denied,”
