Questão jurídica principal
Whether the mother had a right to renewal of her residence permit under Art. 42, 49 or 50 AuG.
Decisão extraída
No. The marital community had definitively broken down, the five-year period under Art. 42(3) AuG was not met through actual cohabitation, and no hardship case based on domestic violence was shown.
Fundamentação extraída
The spouse had already made clear that he would not resume cohabitation; the separation was not temporary. The Court held that Art. 42(3) AuG requires five years of lived marital community, not merely formal marriage. The alleged incident did not reach the intensity required for domestic violence under Art. 50(1)(b) and (2) AuG.
