In Poland, divorce and child custody matters are governed by the Family and Guardianship Code.

Divorce proceedings involve legal dissolution of marriage, while child custody arrangements focus on determining the best interests of the child.

Divorce:

• Grounds for Divorce: Polish law allows for divorce on grounds of irretrievable breakdown of marriage, which can be either mutual consent or one party’s fault.
• Divorce Procedure: The process includes filing a petition, attending court hearings, and finalizing the divorce decree. The court may also address issues such as division of property and alimony.

Child Custody:

• Custody Arrangements: The court determines custody based on the child’s welfare, considering factors like parental ability to provide care, living conditions, and the child’s preferences if they are of sufficient age.
• Visitation Rights: The non-custodial parent typically has visitation rights, which can be arranged privately or mandated by the court.
