The prosecution argued that the defendant's deliberate failure to pay agreed-upon support amounts of 600 and 200 zł monthly caused severe hardship to the children. The court upheld the conviction, noting the defendant's unemployment and lack of assets, while ordering continued support payments to ensure the children's basic needs are met.
