The article addresses the issue of the impact of the amendments to the Family and Guardianship Code of November 6, 2008, on contacts between parents and children after divorce, noting the on the benefits and risks to the welfare of the child. The purpose of the study was to sentence the respondents’ awareness of the contacts in question in the context of the cited amendment. In order to achieve the indicated goal, an analysis of the literature, legal acts and a survey were conducted. As a result of the analysis, several key findings were confirmed. Respondents demonstrated an awareness that family relationships are the foundation of proper child development. It was also noted that improper implementation of contacts with the child can have negative consequences for the child’s well-being. Moreover, indirect forms of contact such as long-distance communication are not a substitute for face-to-face contact. The research also pointed out the difficulties that arise from interference by third parties and stressed the importance of appropriate conditions in the courts that provide comfort in hearing the child. The conclusions of the research suggest the need for further development of the court system and support for parents to effectively protect the welfare of the child in divorce proceedings, considering the child’s emotional and psychological needs.
