Key legal question
Whether the appellant retained a residence permit under Art. 50(1)(a) LEtr after dissolution of the family.
Extracted holding
The marital union lasted more than three years, but the appellant was not successfully integrated, so no retained residence right existed.
Extracted reasoning
A successful integration requires an overall assessment of economic, social and legal integration. Despite employment, the appellant had serious criminal convictions, debts, weak French, and unpaid child support; the fifteen-month prison sentence alone weighed heavily against successful integration.
