Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellant retained a residence permit right under Art. 42 or 50 AuG after separation and divorce.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No; the marital community had definitively ended before three years of common residence in Switzerland elapsed, and no qualifying hardship case was shown.
Extrahierte Begründung
Only the time of shared life in Switzerland counts; the separation occurred before the three-year threshold. A merely formal marriage does not suffice, and no important personal reasons requiring continued stay were established.
