Question juridique clé
Whether the daughter’s reunification under Art. 17(2) ANAG had to be granted.
Solution extraite
The statutory conditions for a late child reunification were not met because no overriding bond to the father and no particularly compelling change in care arrangements were proven.
Motifs extraits
The court held that after parental separation, reunification is not automatic; the applicant must prove a primary relationship with the Swiss parent and compelling family reasons. The daughter did not require constant care, and the change in circumstances did not make relocation necessary.
