The Divorce Demand Letter serves as a crucial preliminary document in the Philippines' unique legal framework, where divorce is generally not recognized except for Muslim citizens under the Code of Muslim Personal Laws. This document formally initiates the process of seeking marital dissolution through available legal means such as annulment, legal separation, or declaration of nullity of marriage. The letter should be used when a spouse has decided to pursue legal action to end their marriage and wants to formally communicate their intentions and demands to their spouse. It typically includes details about the marriage, grounds for seeking dissolution, specific demands regarding property division and child custody, and proposed timelines for response. The document must carefully adhere to Philippine law, particularly the Family Code and related legislation, avoiding terms like "divorce" unless applicable under Muslim law. It serves as both a formal notice and potential evidence in subsequent legal proceedings.
