CC: MRS.

Dear Attorney:

I write in behalf ofmy client, , who is presently residing in.

He was in receipt of your letter with attached proposal of Child

Support Agreement, handed only to him via Facebook
Messenger by your client.

Firstly, Mr. did not request for a Child Support Agreement in

writing from your client, because he has been and is still
providing support to his family, which includes your client.

It is your client, who has been demanding the said written Child
Support Agreement, despite receiving support from Mr. monthly
in the amount of Thousand Pesos (P,000.00) and additional
amounts of approximately Thousand Pesos (P,000.00) for the
utilities (eg. water, electricity, and internet connection). Aside
from these financial support, Mr. is also providing through
online delivery the milk supply of the youngest child, Mr., and
the educational and other personal needs of their eldest, Ms..
All these comply with Article 194 of the Family Code.

Secondly, I would like to emphasize the following:

“Art. 70. The spouses are jointly responsible for the
support of the family. The expenses for such support
and other conjugal obligations shall be paid from the
community property and, in the absence thereof,
from the income or fruits of their separate properties.
In case of insufficiency or absence of said income or
fruits, such obligations shall be satisfied from the
separate properties. (111a)1”

“Art. 71. The management of the household shall be

the right and the duty of both spouses. The expenses

with the provisions of Article 70. (115a)2”

Since our client’s marriage, it is solely Mr. , who has been

providing support to the entire family. Despite the fact that your
client, Mrs., is gainfully employed. Thus, we are now demanding
her participation to the support of the family.

Thirdly, my client never agreed on the stipulations stated in

your proposed Child Support Agreement. Hence, we are
submitting a counter proposal attached herein as ANNEX A for
your perusal.

Finally, please remind your client, that between the two of

them, it is she, who has committed transgressions. Thus, Mr. is
the one with a cause of action against Mrs.. Any further threats
of legal action with regard support, like the one from your
correspondence, will not be taken lightly.

For you information and guidance.

With regards,
