Dear Mr.

I am the counsel of Mrs. XXXX, your legal wife and the mother of your child,
(name of the child).

I am writing this letter to formally demand support from you.

My client is asking for a financial support of one time payment in the amount
of Php ______ for the enrollment your child, including all the necessary school
materials and needs, payable by (date). Please see attached list for your perusal; and
a monthly support of Php, ______ payable at the beginning of each month. The latter
amount will be used by my client to pay the expenses of your child’s basic needs.

Support as defined by Article 194 of the Family Code, comprises everything

indispensable for sustenance, dwelling, clothing, medical attendance, education and
transportation, in keeping with the financial capacity of the family.

The education of the person entitled to be supported referred to in the next

preceding paragraph shall include his schooling or training for some profession, trade
or vocation, even beyond the age of majority. The same Article also explained that
transportation shall include expenses in going to and from school, or to and from place
of work.

the future depending on your child’s needs.

basic needs is a criminal act. It is considered as an act of child abuse defined under
Sec. 3 b(3) of R.A. 7610, also known as Special Protection of Children Against Child
Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act. It states:

 (3) Unreasonable deprivation of his basic needs for survival, such as food and
shelter,”.

Please contact me at xxxxxx within 10 days from receipt of this letter, otherwise, we
will be forced to file the appropriate civil or criminal cases against you.
