Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

According to the law system in my country, the situations that give a lawyer the right to start divorce proceedings are as follows:

1. Situation 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. In this case, the wife has petitioned for divorce and claimed $1,000,000 compensation. The reason for starting divorce proceedings is abandonment by Mr. Manroe, coupled with his failure to provide financial support for his family.

2. Situation 2: The young couple has lived apart for half a year. The husband is going to ask his own lawyer to start divorce proceedings. However, the wife, who is two years younger, doesn't agree to a divorce. In this case, if one party wants a divorce and the other party does not agree, the lawyer can start divorce proceedings based on irreconcilable differences between the couple.

3. Situation 3: Bob Tanner, a drug user, abuses his wife. Last week, he knocked her into a wall and almost broke her neck. The police came and took him to jail. Jessica Tanner has petitioned for divorce. In this case, domestic violence and physical abuse are valid reasons for a lawyer to start divorce proceedings on behalf of the abused spouse.

It is important to note that the specific laws and regulations regarding divorce proceedings may vary from country to country. Therefore, it is advisable to consult with a lawyer who is familiar with the laws of the specific country in question to get accurate and detailed information.
