Oh dear, one of those types. No doubt lacking socially, and probably finds solace on internet forums.
Poland doesn't need defending by curious types who choose to do their defending from a place far far away.
Nah, we just see him for what he is - someone who probably latched onto these things to compensate for things lacking in his life.
On the contrary, he should be awarded the Order of the White Eagle by Komorowski. This gentleman, who is only half-Polish (a Welsh mum), has devoted his entire life to the defence of Poland's good name.

Could you perhaps consider washing your mouth out before posting foul-mouthed rants on here, please?
Anyway, where there's a will, there's a way. If he can only find 32/33 hours a week at the most in Ireland, then he should go to where the money is. I know someone who earns a decent yearly wage by working like crazy in bars during the skiing season, grape picking in summer in France and a few other things. It involves moving around, but he's saved up a hell of a lot of cash that way.
The real issue is that we know exactly what kind of man he is - cutting child maintenance to spite an 8 year old child is immature and pathetic.

That would be reasonable in a normal city. The prices are dramatically less outside - you can often find a very good one in a small town for 400zl if you go about 30-40km from the centre of big places. But yes, 600-700zl would be a fair price in a city.
There are plenty of very good facilities that don't cost the earth - 600-700zl as we've said. That seems pretty fair for 8-9 hours a day. They might not offer three languages and all sorts of pathetic gimmicks, but they will be solid and reliable at that price.
Why? You can get a public place quite easily where I live. The numbers of children are falling dramatically.
It's not me that thinks Piotr i Pawel is for rich Poles only.
let's go with 600 for what I must assume is a respectable, clean, quality day care where everyone has their certifications and the place is fully insured.

Absolutely. I criticise them as much as you criticise Kaczynski.
Although Gowin is also admired for his conservative Catholic, hence genuinely Polish stance on otehr issues and has helped protect Poland from the deviationist threat.

How strange - Macierewicz was in the KOR, and Lech Kaczynski took part in the Magdalenka talks. Aren't they your PiS heroes? In fact, there's quite a bizarre episode in the KOR history - Kuron and Michnik got themselves arrested at one point after high level talks between the Poles and Soviets, but Macierewicz strangely wasn't arrested.

Alas, that did nto come to pass because Roundtable Poland was spawned at Magdalenka and elsewhere behind the scenes as a collusion of atheist commies and atheist KOR-ites .

Talk about humiliation - I don't blame the ex wife in the slightest for taking revenge after being humiliated like that. The OP can't be blamed for this (how is she to know the burak mentality?), but the husband clearly had a motive for doing this.
I notice that we don't know the full story - but it seems to me that the ex wife was very reasonable with the original court order - the fact that she hasn't been dragging him back to the court on a regular basis to increase the payments also suggests that she's not the witch that she's being portrayed as here. But humiliation is humiliation.
Half of Ireland will, especially when work needs done on the farms.
I'm sure she's capable of finding a few pubs in one of the biggest cities in Ireland. As for him, I've already explained it - get the two certificates needed and you can be on a helicopter by the end of the week. The ones from Shropshire wouldn't be lining up for them for one reason - we all know the British mentality of preferring to sit around on the dole rather than actually working.

Depends wildly. If you can get a place in the public day care, it can be very cheap - as little as 250zl a month for the whole day from 6ish to 5. Private ones vary wildly - there are ones for up to 2000zl in Warsaw, but 400-600zl would be normal.
it's moot, but i have no idea what day care costs in Poland so i'll ask: what does it cost, per month, to bring your child to day care 5 days a week in a mid sized town in Poland?

That's not how the ex-wife sees it, and to be honest - not how I see it.
Do you honestly believe the OP in this respect? Working in a shop and living with your parents doesn't exactly sound like a great lifestyle. She sold everything - maybe she needed the money? I also notice that we haven't been informed about why they broke up in the first place.
The courses don't take long (few days), and if he was interested in providing a better life, he would get on with it.
Nope, she made it clear that he isn't even working full time. The fact that he thought it was appropriate to bring yet another child into the world when he wasn't even working full time - well - can't say I have any sympathy for him whatsoever.
I could, but when I hear these sob stories, it's pretty much impossible. I pity those that get into trouble for no reason of their own - but shouldn't he have remembered his responsibility to his existing child (and her to her children) instead of having even more children?
Would you - given the situation in Ireland 3 years ago - really get pregnant at such a point? Maybe it's just me, but I always feel incredibly sad when I hear about these stories of people having children that they can't afford to have.
(off topic, but I predict people like you will be swamped with work once these British/Polish marriages start breaking up...)
1) He's not "living the good life"

There you have it - certificates, probably obtained after attending a course for which you need to pay. Am I right? While he faffs around on courses and pays for certificates, how is he supposed to support any of his children?
The courses don't take long (few days), and if he was interested in providing a better life, he would get on with it.
He probably needs to work every single day just to earn the bare minimum they need to survive.

Of course not - but how do you think the average female judge will react to a story explaining that he's living the good life in Ireland while the ex-wife and child suffer?
Not a problem - he has to go on the many recruitment websites and apply for the entry level jobs. They'll often state that formal education isn't required if the person has a demonstrated work history, and they're forever looking for people who are physically and mentally strong enough to handle the rigs as there's such a high turnover rate. If he's got the minimum safety and offshore survival certificates, he could be on a helicopter by the end of next week.
I'm trying not to be judgemental, but what were they doing having another kid to feed if they already had 3 and neither of them was working full time?
Oh but there is, and I am not making this up. Some of the logic of course must come from the judge, but the system isn't as biased as it sometimes shown to be.

To be honest, you can always find jobs working away for a while at a time - I've got a friend who (with no education other than being reasonably strong) works on oil rigs and earns pretty good money. The lifestyle is quite brutal (12 hour shifts for 14 days, then 14 days holiday) - but the money is excellent and stable.
I find it pretty impossible to believe that he couldn't pick up extra work somehow - I know one guy in Ireland who is forever employing moonlighters on 5 euro an hour to get things moved/etc.
Come on Magdalena, you know as well as I do that there's no such logic in the Polish family court system ;)
And presumably spend any money he might have on the move, right? That's a very smart suggestion. :-/

Reasonable is for a man to pay 15% of his income to support his child. That's 1000zl a month. A look now reveals that in the UK, 15% is what they'd take off him - so you can't complain about 1000zl a month.

He was resident in Poland at the time - the court would have ruled appropriately. Now that he's earning in EUR and living in Ireland, the court will go for blood.
Yeah, sure - if they were having financial problems, she would've worked an extra 5-6 hours a month to make up the difference between 150zl and 350zl. It's what, one bar shift a night? Spare me the tears - she makes it clear that he cut the payments because of his emotions, not because of their finances.
Reasonable? The father of her child lives in a different country and she was only getting 350zl a month for the child. I've seen the bill for books in my workplace - over 400zl this year per child. And the mother has to pay that - and you grudge her?

Doesn't look like it to me - for a start, she doesn't even work full time.
It's rather obvious that it wasn't temporary, but rather intended to see if they could bully her into accepting. The ex-wife in question obviously saw right through it (especially as he's earning over 6000zl a month) and went straight to the court.
He's paid buttons for years - had this agreement been made through the court, he would've been on the hook for 600-700zl minimum a month. The fact that he decided to have more kids when he can't even afford to keep his child in Poland properly says it all.
Doesn't matter. The child shouldn't be punished financially because of the father's absence.
I'm sure she could easily pick up a couple of bar shifts a week. Struggling? It seems to me that she wants to keep more money for herself, to be honest.
Then she should have considered this before deciding to breed with him. If she can't afford to look after her kids with him, then she should have done the mathematics first. The woman in Poland's situation is neither here nor there - the courts in Poland will give her a minimum of 600zl a month regardless of personal circumstances - and because he's earning well by Polish standards, he can expect to pay more.
Brutal, absolutely brutal - but honest and true.
It's pretty obvious that she thinks that the Polish child deserves nothing.
Worth pointing out that even she accepts that the cutting of the maintenance to 150zl was done out of spite, not for financial reason
Maybe this couple didn't do everything exactly right but they are at least trying to work out some sort of affordable payment.

He was trapped into a marriage and at least has attempted to pay his way, the woman won't even let him see his kid, even before he remarried or met his 2nd wife,some mother eh?
Doesn't matter. The child shouldn't be punished financially because of the father's absence.
Doing the maths between the OP and her husband they are earning roughly 1550-1600 quid per month, rent alone is around 800-900 quid a month in Eire, the cost of living is higher and the benefit system is much stricter, so they won't be getting handouts.There is also high unemployment so a second job isn't likely. They will struggle to give anything, though they are willing to at least try!
I'm sure she could easily pick up a couple of bar shifts a week. Struggling? It seems to me that she wants to keep more money for herself, to be honest.
Ever heard of childcare costs, unemployment etc.... it might not be possible/economic to work more than 19 hours a week, why should her 3 kids go without, the woman in Poland has free rent, a guarunteed job and mum/dad pandering to her!
Then she should have considered this before deciding to breed with him. If she can't afford to look after her kids with him, then she should have done the mathematics first.

You are aware that she was asking advice on how to screw an eight-year-old child out of his rather modest child support payments, aren't you? Why you think she deserves any sympathy is beyond me.

Will this help decrease joblessness or lower the level of competence in various fields, or maybe a little of both -- remains to be seen.

As for "Deviously verbose", if I can understand it, what's everyone else's excuse? Is it that difficult to understand that the Constitution guarantees freedom for all?

I don't think you can compare the Nuremburg Laws to this.
This isn't a law enacted by a dictator - this is in accordance with a Constitution that was voted upon and accepted by the Polish people.
Could you perhaps explain what LGBT individuals have to do with crosses in police stations?
Including the Nuremburg Laws?

Any kind of law can be enacted but the fact it gets on the books does not automatically made it right, advisable or beneficial.

that the lgbt fanatics representing a tiny 3% minority in the first place have been quiety infiltrating, loudly trumpetting, brainwashing and chipping away at the very foundations of society and trying to impose their agenda on everybody else.

UK, Ireland / Advice on child support (Irish with my Polish husband) [106]
Most people on this thread know how the Polish family court system works and know that cutting maintenance to 150zl is a sheer insult.
And she got advice. Perhaps it's not what she wanted to hear, but Dominic was absolutely spot on.

Exactly. Hence in this case, they should have done their job according to the law - which meant not undermining their superior.
I'm only sad that these police officers weren't disciplined accordingly.

The Telegraph is a very right wing newspaper - it's not called the Torygraph for nothing. Anyway.
How unfortunate for you - you've tried to give an example that I can debunk very easily.
And in the words of the education minister Michael Gove -

Polonius, do try harder with your lies.
Which ruse or sleight of hand will you use to wiggle out of this one? I know a good one: The Telegraph is not a reliable newspaper. That has been used by the Fearsome Foursome already in the past, but many PF-ers may have forgotten that cheap trick so why not give it another shot.

Teachers in the UK can lose their jobs if they refuse to promote gay 'marriage'.
How unfortunate for you - you've tried to give an example that I can debunk very easily.
Education Secretary Michael Gove yesterday attacked the protesters against gay marriage who claim 40,000 teachers face the sack for defying the new law.
Ahead of a Commons vote on Tuesday - which will almost certainly legalise same-sex weddings - Mr Gove guaranteed that teachers who continue to tell pupils that marriage should be between a man and a woman will not be fired or disciplined.

And what makes you think society doesn't agree with those values?
I thought tolerance and respect for others was a key part of Christianity. Then again, you can always tell who is repeating crap from Trybuna Ludu and who is a genuine Christian.

Indeed. They can't be counted as Catholic by any reasonable measure - I suspect that for many of them, they would only discover their Catholicism if a religious conflict broke out.
People tick a box but don't do anything about it the rest of the time.

Life / Veet wax stripes & eye doctor (center) in Poznan? [9]
Why the haste for an eye doctor anyway? If your vision has suddenly deteriorated to the point where you need glasses, I'd be going straight to the hospital, not to an optician.

Tesco, ul. Serbska. You can get checked on the spot by a competent optician.
Poland is full of eye doctors, is it really so difficult to walk into an opticians? There's one on Fredry, close to the crossing of Gwarna.
Eye doctor, anyone? I really need those glasses!
