The ministry emphasizes that the primary objective of these reforms is to ensure a secure upbringing and maintain the child\u2019s well-being despite legal disputes between parents.<\/p>\n<h4>Defining Shared Custody<\/h4>\n<p>A core pillar of the reform is the introduction of &#8220;shared custody&#8221; into the family and guardianship code. Judge Dorota \u0141opalewska, head of the Department of Family and Juvenile Affairs, clarified that this does not mandate a rigid 50\/50 split, but rather encourages parental cooperation and the active presence of both parents in the child\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<h4>Fast-Track Alimony and Enforcement<\/h4>\n<p>The package introduces an electronic alimony order system, allowing judicial referendaries to issue quick decisions based on minimum wage and the number of children. This move is designed to relieve the burden on family judges and minimize evidentiary proceedings.<\/p>\n<h4>Strengthening Legal Accountability<\/h4>\n<p>The ministry is working on measures to ensure court decisions in family cases are respected, including accountability for non-compliance. Minister \u017burek stated the project will undergo the standard legislative process, with the goal of fostering cooperation among adults to protect the daily lives of children.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During a Wednesday press conference on June 17, the Ministry of Justice introduced a new legislative package aimed at shielding children from the fallout of parental disputes in family court.
