Key legal question
Whether the residence permit had to be extended under Art. 50 AuG after the dissolution of the marriage
Extracted holding
No. The court upheld the finding that the marriage union lasted only two years and ten months, so the three-year requirement was not met; economic integration and hardship grounds also failed.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant did not show arbitrariness in the factual findings. The wife’s statements, the separation date in the divorce proceedings, and contradictory accounts supported the lower court’s view. Formal deregistration did not prove continued marital cohabitation. The appellant’s repeated debt enforcement and lack of economic integration further excluded a hardship case.
