Abstract
Family law, understood as a set of norms governing relations between spouses and between parents and children, is an example of a constantly changing and deeply diversified legal system. The lack of Polish statehood resulted in the formation of modern family law in Polish lands taking place through foreign law. The former Polish law was temporarily left in the lands seized by Austria in the first partition. The only change – transitional – concerned matrimonial law. According to Article 69 of the Constitution of the Duchy of Warsaw from 1807, “Napoleonic Code shall be the civil law of the Duchy of Warsaw”. The reform of 1825, when the Sejm of the Kingdom of Poland adopted the Civil Code of the Kingdom of Poland, had a much broader scope. The reborn Polish state inherited from the partitioning powers a patchwork of regulations in all areas of judicial law, including family law as part of civil law.
