The court reduced monthly alimony payments from the father to his minor children due to his retirement from the police force and severe health deterioration. While the plaintiff argued that his expenses prevented him from paying the original amounts, the court acknowledged that the children's needs had increased. The decision was based on the principle that alimony cannot exceed the payer's current financial capacity, leading to a reduction from 900 zł to 600 zł and from 600 zł to 400 zł effective February 24, 2020.
