Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellant had a right to renewal of the residence permit under Art. 42 AuG despite separate living arrangements.
Decisão extraída
No. The marriage-based entitlement was lost because the marital community was not actually maintained in Switzerland and the relationship was invoked abusively.
Fundamentação extraída
The court accepted the lower court's findings that the spouses had lived apart for long periods since 2008, with only sporadic short reunions, so the family community required by Art. 42 AuG was not shown.
