Procedure for Divorce in Poland

Divorce Procedure in Poland

Divorce in Poland is a complicated process, especially when the spouses come from different countries. It is important to know how to act correctly to ensure the process is legally correct and without unnecessary difficulties. In this article, we will discuss the main stages of divorce in Poland, how to prepare for the court process, and what legal services may be needed.

Steps for Divorce in Poland

Before starting the divorce process in Poland, it is important to pay attention to several critical factors that will impact the outcome of your case. In Poland, divorce is only possible through the court, unlike Ukraine, where it can be done through the registry office with mutual consent (if there are no minor children). Here are the main stages to follow:

1. Preparing to submit the divorce petition. First, gather the necessary documents, such as the marriage certificate, copies of passports, property distribution documents if applicable. It is also important to determine who will file the petition. If one party does not agree to the divorce, the court will schedule additional hearings.
2. Submitting the petition to the court. The divorce petition is submitted to the court. If there are minor children in the marriage, the process is delayed because the court requires separate documents regarding child custody and their needs.
3. Reviewing the case in court. The court typically holds several hearings to address all aspects of the marriage, including property matters and child-related issues. The Polish court considers all important aspects, including divorce conditions if one of the parties does not want to divorce or has other claims.

Who is Affected by Divorce in Poland?

• Polish citizens. If one of the spouses is a Polish citizen, the divorce typically takes place through a Polish court, even if the other partner is a foreigner.
• Citizens of Ukraine and other countries. If one or both partners are citizens of another country, such as Ukraine, and reside in Poland, they will also submit their divorce petition to a Polish court.
• Divorce with children. If there are minor children in the marriage, the divorce process becomes more complicated as the court will determine custody and child support arrangements.

It is important to remember that in Poland, divorce through the court is mandatory, and this applies not only to Polish citizens but also to foreigners residing in the country. If you have any questions related to this process, feel free to contact our legal service for consultation.
