POLISH ALIMONY ART S209 need advice and help

Hello,

I recently learned that I may have legal problems under Article 209 §1a of the Polish Penal Code because of unpaid alimony.

I remarried in 2019 and now have three children.

Since 2019 I have not been paying alimony because I was living abroad and then moved to another EU country.

My financial situation has been very difficult, and I support my current family on a modest income with partial social assistance.

I now wish to resolve this matter legally and fulfill my obligations according to my financial capacity.

My questions are:

1. How can I apply for a court-appointed defense attorney (obrońca z urzędu) in this case?

2. Can I request a translator (I do not speak Polish well) for the proceedings?

3. What is the best way to settle or discontinue the case under Article 209 §1a if I start paying regularly now?

4. Can I apply to reduce the alimony amount because of my current family responsibilities and low income?

5. Since I live in another EU country, is it possible to handle this matter remotely/online without traveling to Poland?

6. Can communication with my appointed lawyer be in English?

7. If I am living in another EU country, can I be arrested or extradited for an alimony case under Article 209?

Thank you in advance for any guidance.

Living abroad is not an excuse to get out of alimony, legally and morally

Though really you need to see a lawyer and spend some money - a problem for you if you are not even willing to spend money on your own kids food and clothes.

SIR I AM SENDING HERE ACCOUNT BUT IT REFUND AND YESTERDAY I again sent here account alimony but today 3rd of September returned in my account?
I have all proof some can suggest me what to do

Regarding point #7, it's very unlikely you'd be arrested for avoiding alimony payments because it's not a criminal offense.

P9lamd is one of the few countries in Europe where people, usually men, are regularly jailed for non-payment of child maintenance.

Lets see I will get justice or not in EU . I am sending alimony but alimony is refunded next day... can I get public lawyer in Poland because I can not afford private lawyer while living in Portugal??
