Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court partially granted the appellant's appeal to reduce monthly child support payments from 450 PLN to 250 PLN, effective May 2013. The appellant argued that the children's social benefits and the mother's pension rendered the support unnecessary, but the court rejected this as the mother's income remained stable and she fulfilled her duty through personal care. The court determined the appellant's earning capacity had not diminished, citing his age, education, and health, thus upholding the original support obligation at the lower amount.
