Appellate court reduced child support to 600 PLN monthly due to father's increased income and mother's full-time care efforts.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe appellate court partially modified the first-instance judgment, reducing the monthly child support from 700 PLN to 600 PLN effective November 1, 2015, while dismissing the appellant's appeal in other respects. The court found the initial support calculation based on the mother's claimed expenses to be slightly inflated but acknowledged the father's significant increase in monthly earnings. Consequently, the court determined that the father's enhanced financial capacity required a higher contribution, yet the mother's exclusive responsibility for the child's daily care and upbringing justified the reduction from the originally proposed amount.
