Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellant could rely on Article 8 ECHR to obtain a residence permit on the basis of family life with his Swiss children.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The family relationship was not sufficiently close and effectively lived; Article 8 ECHR could therefore not clearly be invoked as a basis for stay.
Extrahierte Begründung
He exercised visitation only irregularly, mostly communicated by telephone, never paid maintenance, and made no real efforts to obtain stable work.
