»Spousal and Child Support in the German and Polish Law. A Comparative Law Analysis«

The thesis, considering the comparative law aspects, focuses on the question whether the German law may give impulses to a possible reform of the Polish maintenance law. In essential areas, the Polish maintenance law chooses namely a different approach as the German law. While the practice in Germany concentrates on guidelines from higher courts, the process in Poland remains largely non-transparent.
On the basis of the legal situation in Poland, we go into the issue whether the Polish regulations of the maintenance law as well as its implementation in the case law comply with constitutional guidelines. In the thesis, differences in the Polish and the German maintenance law are shown on the one hand and the relative regulations with a view to the rule of law are critically analysed on the other hand.
