Legal Protection of the Family: Essential Polish Provisions Regarding International Legal Standards and Social Change

This article represents an overview of the most significant problems associated with legal protection of the family in Poland while taking into account the influence of various new social, political, and legal phenomena taking place in the Euro-American cultural sphere, which includes Central Europe, and thus Poland. The main subject of the overview is the Polish law in force, which is described and discussed against universal and European legal standards that were cataloged half a century ago. What now is more or less openly questioned is the interpretation of the Polish law that is rooted in values hitherto commonly shared in the western culture. Developments of legal institutions dealing with legal protection of the family have caused fierce controversies, primarily as the result of changes taking place in the Family and Guardianship Code (hereafter referred to as FGC), diverse acts in the constitutional, administrative, and procedural law, and many international documents ratified by Poland (in doctrine all the documents are referred to as law referring to the family).1
