The end of a marriage often arrives not with a bang but a slow unraveling, and for Tasha Elaine Overmiller and Taylor Jacob Overmiller, that unraveling was painfully deliberate. Married on June 27, 2015, in Portland, Oregon, they moved through nearly a decade of life’s complexities before reaching a fracture too deep to mend. Though they separated on August 3, 2025, they continue to live under the same roof—a testament to how separation can be as complicated as the marriage itself.
Filing the petition for dissolution on August 5, 2025, in Jackson County, Missouri, Tasha, represented by attorney Patricia M. Scaglia, makes clear that the marriage is irretrievably broken. Their child—one child born of this union—anchors the narrative, not as a reason to stay, but as a shared responsibility. Both parents seek joint legal and physical custody, underscoring a commitment to co-parenting despite their personal divide.
The petition navigates the delicate balance of support, medical care, daycare costs, and the financial realities both parties face. Protections are ordered to prevent the dissipation of marital assets, a reminder that amidst personal upheaval, practicalities remain urgent.
This story is not merely about dissolution; it is about reconfiguration—how families evolve, how commitments shift, and how love and responsibility endure in new forms. As Tasha’s proposed parenting plan awaits adoption, the case unfolds with a quiet dignity befitting the complex truths of modern marriage.
