The court dismissed the father's lawsuit requesting a reduction of child support from 750 PLN to 500 PLN per month. Although the father claimed job loss and reduced income, the court found his unemployment resulted from a negative performance review and he remains capable of finding work quickly. The mother's needs for education and sports activities remained unchanged, and the existing support amount was deemed appropriate given the father's financial potential.

Art. 133 § 1 k.r.s.; Art. 135 § 1 k.r.s.; Art. 138 k.r.s.: A change in circumstances justifying a modification of child support requires a genuine reduction in the obligor's earning capacity or an increase in the entitled party's needs, which was not established here as the father's unemployment was self-inflicted and the child's needs persisted.
