  1. Regarding the divorce process:
  • Divorce by mutual consent: This process is easiest and fastest if both parties agree to the divorce and all related issues.
  • Divorce by court: If one of the spouses does not agree to the divorce or cannot reach an agreement on all issues, the divorce will go through the court. Also, the divorce procedure through the court takes place in the presence of minor children.
  1. Collect the necessary documents:
  • Marriage certificate: This document must be translated into Polish and apostilled.
  • Birth certificates of children (if any): These documents must also be translated into Polish and certified by a sworn translator.
  • Other documents: Depending on your situation, you may need other documents such as proof of residence, proof of income, etc.
  1. File for divorce:

An application for divorce is submitted to the district court at the place of residence of one of the spouses.

  1. Take part in court sessions:

If you divorce through court, you will have to attend several court hearings. At these hearings, the judge will hear your arguments and make a decision on the divorce.

  1. Get a divorce certificate:

After the court issues a divorce decree, you will receive a divorce certificate. You will need this document to register a new marriage or for other legal purposes.

Importantly:

  • The divorce process in Poland can last from several months to one year.
  • The cost of a divorce can vary depending on the complexity of your case.
  • You can get free legal advice from some law offices or non-governmental organizations.

Divorce in Poland, as in any other country, can be a complex legal process that requires a thorough understanding of the law and a clear strategy.

Solving such issues on your own can lead to unforeseen consequences because in addition to emotional stress, legal complexity is also added.
