Journal Title: Białostockie Studia Prawnicze - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 22
Abstract
In an era of shaky familial relations, child custody and the principles of the best interest of the child have emerged with more strength and fortifi ed protections than ever before. With the growing divorce rates, children remain the most vulnerable parties, thereby making them prone to some of the more damaging consequences of family dissolution. When analyzing child custody/protection laws around the globe, there are clear diff erences as to the enactment and enforcement of certain protections for children. Th is paper will explore the diff erences and similarities between Poland and the United States’ (specifi cally, Minnesota) best interest factors. Additionally, this paper will aim to fi nd a common ground between the common law and civil law regulations in place in both Minnesota and Poland.
