Court increases child support to 700 PLN monthly based on increased needs and father's income in Poland.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court partially granted the mother's request to increase child support from 400 to 700 PLN monthly, effective May 2016. The mother argued that the child's needs had significantly grown since the 2007 agreement, while the father claimed unemployment and low earnings. The court ruled that the child's legitimate expenses justified the increase and the father's current income supported the new amount. Consequently, the claim for further increases was dismissed, but the primary request for higher support was approved.
