Niesamodzielne pełnoletnie dziecko – rozwód rodziców i alimentacja na rzecz dziecka
An adult but dependent child – parental divorce and alimony for a child

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present a few selected material legal issues concerning an adult child who is still dependent, which arise in connection with the divorce proceedings of his or her parents. The article refers to the negative divorce premise, that is, the inconsistency of the divorce decree with the principles of social coexistence in the context of including an adult child of divorcing parents, and presents issues associated with the maintenance of an adult dependent child. The research was based on an analysis of legal acts, combined with the comparative legal method. As regards the negative condition for divorce, it should be considered that the welfare of dependent children is properly protected. The article also shows that other European countries vary in terms of the age at which parents’ obligation to provide for their children ceases. The analysis of foreign regulations leads to the conclusion that the age to which parents should support their children does not coincide with their legal independence.
