In the heart of St. Charles County, Missouri, a marriage forged in hope has reached its twilight. On March 31, 2025, Tana J. O’Donnell filed a petition to dissolve her union with Matthew F. O’Donnell, marking the end of a journey that began with vows exchanged on a winter day in 2011. For over a decade, their lives intertwined in St. Louis, where their marriage was sealed, yet no children were born to carry their legacy forward. The petition, filed in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, speaks plainly: the bond, strained by time and circumstance, parted ways quietly on February 28, 2025. Tana, resolute, declares the marriage irretrievably broken, with no hope of mending what has been lost.
Represented by Jane Ellen Tomich of the Tomich Law Firm, LLC, Tana seeks a fair reckoning. She asks the court to untangle the threads of their shared property, to honor what is hers alone, and to divide equitably what they built together. Both she and Matthew, long-time residents of this Missouri county, stand outside the shadow of military service, their lives rooted in civilian soil. The court now holds their story, tasked with penning its final chapter—a division not just of assets, but of dreams once shared. As spring unfolds, St. Charles County waits to see how justice will balance the scales for Tana and Matthew O’Donnell.
