It was also analyzed whether the court, in divorce matters and in matters relating to separation, duly and thoroughly carries out evidence proceed-ings, using all available and adequate evidence in a given case. This article contains theoretical considerations regarding parental authority in Polish family law. In addition, the article analyzes the author’s own research – the files concerning cases in which the Court settled the parental authority of divorced parents and spouses separated.
