any ideas of what happens to a foreigner who was granted citizenship through marriage to a polish national who is now in the process of divorcing the polish spouse?

The citizenship gets revoked and the offending foreigner is fed to the wild "Zubrs" of the Bialowieska Forest. Humour aside, Poland has joined the EU in 2004 and has to play by the same rules as anybody else in the civilized world. Your citizenship, regardless of the way You obtained it, stays with You.

iceman: any ideas of what happens to a foreigner who was granted citizenship through marriage to a polish national who is now in the process of divorcing the polish spouse? He isn't a foreigner if he has Polish citizenship: he'll be treated like any other Pole.

However being divorced after a long period of marriage, with a child ... will never let your life be same again, and whether Poland or any other country, you will partake the curse of spoiling a child's right to have a healthy caring family with both parents. I don't know whether you will meet good luck or bad, but whatever happens, it seems you will face it in Poland.

The OP asked a question from the legal point of view, without philisophies. I would think that once you have the citizenship they cannot take it away?

Theoratically yes. I hate to be the spoiler here but i'll just say what i have heard before. Spent seven continuous years (if i'm not mistaken) out of the country (but i don't know if it includes being in another EU state) and they will revoke your citizenship it's not only in Poland apperantely most countries have such rules for naturalised citizens.
