FAQ — Family Law in Poland

What family law matters can a lawyer in Poland assist with?

A family lawyer can advise on divorce, legal separation, child residence, parental authority, contact arrangements, maintenance, paternity, adoption and marital property disputes. Legal assistance may include negotiations, preparation of court documents and representation in proceedings before the competent Polish courts.

How is a divorce obtained in Poland?

Divorce is granted by a court when the marriage has broken down completely and permanently, subject to statutory restrictions. Proceedings take place before the competent regional court (sąd okręgowy). The court may also address fault, parental responsibility, child maintenance and other matters required by law. The procedure depends on the circumstances and whether the spouses agree on the disputed issues.

Can a foreign national file for divorce in Poland?

Foreign citizenship does not automatically prevent divorce proceedings in Poland. The court must first have international jurisdiction under the applicable rules. Relevant factors may include the spouses' habitual residence, nationality and previous place of residence. The law applicable to the divorce must also be determined separately.

How are child custody and parental rights decided in Poland?

Polish courts give primary consideration to the child's best interests. Depending on the case, the court may decide how parental authority is exercised, where the child lives and how contact with each parent is arranged. Both parents generally retain parental authority unless a court decides otherwise. Disagreements about important decisions concerning the child may require judicial intervention.

How is child support calculated under Polish law?

Child maintenance is assessed primarily according to the child's justified needs and the paying parent's earning and financial capacity. Personal care and upbringing provided by either parent may also be relevant. There is no universal fixed percentage of income that applies to every case. The amount can be reviewed when circumstances materially change.

What happens to jointly owned property after divorce?

Where the statutory matrimonial property regime applies, assets acquired during marriage may form part of the spouses' joint property. Division can be agreed between the parties or decided by a court. A separate property division procedure is often necessary, although division may be addressed in the divorce judgment if it does not cause excessive delay. Marriage agreements and the origin of assets can affect the outcome.

Can a parent relocate abroad with a child after separation?

An international relocation may require the agreement of the other parent who holds parental authority or an appropriate court decision. The answer depends on existing orders, parental rights and the child's habitual residence. Moving without the necessary consent or legal authority may lead to international child abduction proceedings.

Can a Polish court handle a family dispute involving another country?

Polish courts may have jurisdiction over cross-border family matters where the relevant legal conditions are satisfied. Divorce, parental responsibility, maintenance and matrimonial property can be governed by different jurisdictional rules. A case involving spouses or children in different countries therefore requires an individual assessment before proceedings begin.

Is it possible to work with a family lawyer in Poland remotely?

Initial consultations, document reviews, case preparation and communication with a lawyer can generally be handled remotely. Representation may also be arranged through an appropriate power of attorney. However, a Polish court may require a party to attend a hearing or give evidence personally, so a completely remote procedure cannot be guaranteed.

What documents are needed to consult a family lawyer in Poland?

The documents depend on the dispute. Useful records may include a marriage certificate, children's birth certificates, previous court orders, correspondence between the parties and evidence of income or assets. For international matters, foreign documents may require certified translations or other formalities. An initial review helps identify which records are necessary.
