Law / Is there a legal requirement for us to support aging parents in Poland? [26]

this is a strange question I know but i am receiving letters from my father in poland who i have had no contact with for 30 years demanding i send him money and saying that i am legally required to support him. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing or is he lying? thankyou for you advice.

This is scary stuff! Seems fundamentally flawed as no loving, caring parent is likely enforce this on a son / daughter who is in no position to support them financially leaving it as a tool for uncaring / estranged / malicious individuals to extort money and ruin the lives of children they have contributed nothing to.

As I say - depends who your parents are. If you were abused and abandoned as a child and if you are now struggling to make a living abroad is it fair or right that a court can force you to hand everything you have worked for to a complete stranger who has contributed absolutely nothing to your welfare or your life?

At the end of the day parents are just people, there are good and bad - naturally the children of good parents are inclined to support them in any way that they can but the children of the bad should not be forced to. IMHO.
