Abstract
The main goal of the article is to take a theoretical reflection on a spatially separated family (also called temporary incomplete or transnational) as a result of labor migration. Global socio-cultural changes and the evolution of individual attitudes towards the life are changing contemporary families. Despite the transformation the family plays a key role in human development, and adults not only highly value family life and children, but perceive the child as a source of personal and family happiness. The article presents the scope of economic migration of Poles and their impact on family life. The main remarks refer to the psychological effects of separation for children, adolescents and spouses. Attention is drawn to the risk of loneliness, parentification and parental alienation. This paper presents also an attempt to classify spatially separated families as a result of economic migrations.

The main goal of the article is to take a theoretical reflection on a spatially separated family as a result of labor migration
Polska nazywana jest krajem emigracji, co oznacza, że znacznie bardziej popularne są wyjazdy za granicę niż imigracja cudzoziemców (Kaczmarczyk i Tyrowicz, 2007)
Wyjazdy za granicę stanowią dostępną strategię radzenia sobie z problemami bytowymi rodziny, które wynikają z niskich płac i trudności na rynku pracy (Kawczyńska-Butrym, 2008)
Summary
The main goal of the article is to take a theoretical reflection on a spatially separated family ( called temporary incomplete or transnational) as a result of labor migration. Artykuł jest próbą przyjrzenia się rodzinom rozłącznym na skutek migracji ekonomicznej z punktu widzenia konsekwencji rozłąki dla poszczególnych członków rodziny. Dla współczesnych rodzin polskich znamienne jest czasowe (choć niekiedy długotrwałe) ograniczenie kontaktu z rodziną z powodu pracy zarobkowej jednego lub obojga rodziców poza granicami kraju.
