Sale of property to cover child support.

ATTENTION !
text translated automatically from the Polish version

In the judgment of June 30, 2021, the Supreme Court recalled that „even a difficult financial situation of a parent does not release him from the obligation to provide child support. The parent is obliged to share even a very meager income with the child. On the other hand, in extreme situations, satisfying the needs of minor children may even take place at the expense of some assets. ” This means that the court may order maintenance even from a parent who does not earn any income, forcing him to sell the property. Of course, this cannot lead to the parent’s living standard falling below that of the child.
