In a quiet plea for closure, Tanya Garcia has filed for the dissolution of her marriage to Gregory J. Garcia in St. Charles County on September 17, 2024, after nearly 13 years of marriage. Citing irreconcilable differences, Tanya states that the marriage is irretrievably broken. The couple, who wed on October 15, 2011, in St. Louis County, remains under the same roof but has struggled to preserve their bond.

The couple shares one minor child, and Tanya has requested joint physical and legal custody, with herself designated as the residential parent for educational purposes. Both parents are financially stable, capable of supporting their child independently, and neither seeks child support or maintenance from the other. Tanya also asked the court to fairly divide their marital property and debts, or, if necessary, follow the terms of a Marital Separation Agreement should one be reached.

Represented by attorney Jamie Emahiser from Family Law Partners, Tanya is clear in her request for the court to dissolve the marriage, award joint custody of their child, and resolve property matters equitably. As both parties appear able-bodied and financially independent, neither requires further financial support. This dissolution, like many, leaves behind a shared history but moves forward in an attempt to secure the best interests of their child and a fair resolution of their shared life.
