Dear Mr. dela Cruz,


I am the new counsel of Ms. Joana Eusebio, the mother of your child,
Jose dela Cruz.
We are writing this letter to formally demand support from you.
My client is asking for a monthly support of Php 15,000.00, payable at the
beginning of each month. This amount will be used by my client to pay the
expenses of your childs 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.
Please take note that the amount being demanded by my client may
change in the future depending on your childs needs.
I would also like to inform you that an unreasonable deprivation of your
childs basic needs is a criminal act. It is considered as an act of child abuse as

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:
