DEMAND LETTER
Dear Mr. xxxx
I write on behalf of my client, your legal wife xxxx, with whom you have two (2) children, namely:
xxxx (9 years old) and xxxx ( 14 years old), who are under my client’s care and custody.
Mrs. xxxx has disclosed your irregularity in providing financial support to the family as a husband
and father. She expressed her pain that, you could provide nothing at all to your children.
For this reason, this letter serves as a formal reminder of your obligation to provide. You are
bound by law to provide support. As such, our client is asking for financial assistance to cover the basic
children support expenses based on Article 194 of the Family Code, and these include:
House Rental- xx
Internet - xxxx
Electricity - xxxx
Water- xxxx
Food/ Grocery xxxx
Children’s Allowances- xxxx
Clothing – xxxx
Medicine and Vitamins for the Children- xxxx
Misc Expenses such as Gas, Repairs etc – xxxx
The education of the person entitled to be supported referred to in the preceding paragraph shall
include his schooling or training for some profession, trade or vocation, even beyond the age of majority.
Transportation shall include expenses in going to and from school, or to and from place of work.
My client and the children are demanding the amount of xxxx per month or a substantial amount
that you can provide in consideration to the expenses discussed above. Unfortunately, the amount of xxxx
you provide on intermittent basis is just absolutely ridiculous. You are capable of paying substantially more
to support my client and the children’s basic needs and other related expenses.
Your continuous deprivation of your family’s basic needs plus ABANDONMENT are grounds to file
civil and/or criminal case(s) against you --- Economic Abuse and Emotional/Psychological 1Abuse under
RA 9262. Your monthly visit to your family while spending majority of your days with your mistress is still
abandonment.
1
Section 5 of the RA 9262 specifically:
C. "Psychological violence" refers to acts or omissions causing or likely to cause mental or emotional suffering of the victim-
by causing her and the children tremendous pain and suffering due to abandonment, neglect, verbal abuses, threatening to
kill as well as displaying your mistress in public places.
D. "Economic abuse" refers to acts that make or attempt to make a woman financially dependent- by your refusal to provide
for the 3 children, our client has been tied up with the domestic chores that she can barely rest and her productivity has been
affected. She gave up her career as a midwife to be there for the family. Now, she resorted to financial assistance from
family members because you left her with 3 children to feed and take care. She is crippled financially and her career
advancement is by now impossible to attain.
Please be informed that compelling us to resort to the aforementioned would be to your gross
disadvantage as it would entail a lot of effort and money, not to mention embarrassment and additional
attorney’s fees.
Your immediate and favorable compliance within 10 days from receipt of this demand is
OBVIOUSLY DESIRED. Otherwise, we shall be constrained to file the necessary cases of RA 9262
or Anti VAWC Law against you and/or Support under the Family Code.
Truly yours,
