Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellant retained a residence permit right under Art. 42 or 50 AuG after separation and divorce.
Decisione estratta
No; the marital community had definitively ended before three years of common residence in Switzerland elapsed, and no qualifying hardship case was shown.
Motivazione estratta
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.
