You are given some situations. Which of them give a lawyer the right (according to the law system of your country) to start divorce proceedings? Give reasons

1 Mr. Manroe deserted his wife and five children four years ago. Recently Mrs. Manroe has learnt that her husband lives in Texas and runs a huge oil-company. Mr. Manroe has never given his family any financial aid. The woman has petitioned for divorce and clamed $ 1000000 compensation.

2 The young couple has lived apart for half a year. The husband is going to ask the lawyer of his own to start divorce proceedings. But the wife, who is two years younger, doesn't agree to a divorce

3 Bob Tanner, a drug user, abuses his wife. Last week he knocked her into a wall and almost broke her neek. The police came and took him to jail. Jessica Tanner has petitioned for divorce

According to the laws of my country, the 1st and 3rd case is most suitable to start a divorcing process.

In the first case, the husband hasn't supplied the family with anything, left his wife with children, even though he has money to at least send them financial aid once a month, that is, assuming the info about oil-company is true. According to the law, Mrs Manroe, if not divorced, has rights to demand financial aid from her husband, with whom she's still officially married.

In the third case, the violence against another human being, let alone against oneself's house spouse is enough to file a lawsuit, because it is the violation of human rights (if it wasn't used as a self-defence mechanism). But according to the information that Bob Tanner was a drug user, we can conclude that the aggressiveness towards his wife was most likely intended to harm her. His deeds threatened her life, physical and mental state, so she/lawyer can start a divorcing process to save wife's life and avoid such situations in the future.
