In a recent legal filing in Jackson County, Missouri, Mike Tanner Onka initiated divorce proceedings against Hope Monal Turner. The petition, filed on October 19, 2023, addresses their marriage, which began on November 20, 2021, and their shared residence.
The couple has one child, B.A.O., aged 1. The marriage is described as “irretrievably broken,” and the petitioner, represented by attorney Michael M. Spiegel from Spiegel Law, LLC, has made several requests, including joint legal and joint physical custody of the minor child. The petitioner’s residence is designated as the child’s residence for various purposes, and child support is sought in accordance with Missouri law.
The petition also calls for the parties to provide medical insurance for the child, with the court apportioning medical and dental expenses not covered by insurance. While the document mentions property accumulated during the marriage and certain debts, specific resolutions are not outlined, leaving these matters to be determined as the case progresses.
Neither party is requesting maintenance from the other. The petition concludes with a request for the court to approve any Separation Agreement entered by the parties and, if none is reached, for the court to divide marital property and obligations in a fair and equitable manner, while setting aside non-marital property to each party. The petitioner also seeks to cover the filing fee costs incurred in the action.
Although specific quotes are not provided in the filing, the legal proceedings between Mike Tanner Onka and Hope Monal Turner are expected to be closely watched as they navigate the complexities of dissolving their marriage and determining the best arrangements for their young child. Jackson County Court will serve as the backdrop for the evolving legal drama.
