Divorce lawyer in Wrocław
Divorce in Poland decides matters that shape your life for years: children, money, the roof over your head. I handle divorce cases end to end: preparing the petition or the response, representing you in court, and making sure alimony, parental authority and contact arrangements are settled properly. For international couples I advise on jurisdiction and the recognition of foreign judgments.
Division of marital property
The case often doesn't end with the divorce decree. Dividing the marital estate (an apartment, savings, a business, a mortgage) can be more complex than the divorce itself. I help establish what belongs to the estate, account for contributions from separate property, and reach a division by settlement or court order.
How I work
At the first meeting we discuss your situation and realistic scenarios: in plain language, no legal jargon. You receive clear fee information up front. Where agreement is possible I pursue settlement (faster and cheaper); where it isn't, I represent your position in court without compromise.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a divorce cost in Poland?
The court fee for a divorce petition is PLN 600. Attorney fees depend on complexity: an uncontested divorce without fault is priced differently from a case involving custody disputes or property division. You receive a concrete quote at the first meeting.
How long does a divorce take in Wrocław?
An uncontested divorce without fault can be granted at the first hearing, usually within a few months of filing. Contested cases (fault, children, property) take correspondingly longer.
I married abroad. Can I divorce in Poland?
Often yes: Polish courts have jurisdiction in many cases where a spouse lives in Poland. Marriages concluded abroad are generally recognised; the practical requirements depend on where the marriage was registered.
What happens to the mortgage after divorce?
The court divides the property but not the debt; the loan remains a joint obligation towards the bank. In practice we negotiate solutions: one spouse taking over the loan with the bank's consent, selling the property, or accounting for repayments in the division.
