Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the applicant retained a right to renewal of the residence permit after the marital union ended.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No; once the spouses ceased living together and the family union ended, the permit basis under the spouse rule fell away.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 49 AuG presupposes an intact family union despite separate homes; mere continuation of the formal marriage is insufficient.
