In a filing on January 8, 2024, Tamara Stengel has petitioned for the dissolution of her marriage to Ryan Stengel in St. Louis County, Missouri. The couple, united since March 29, 2013, shares three minor children, ages 13, 13, and 8. Citing irretrievable brokenness, the filing asserts that there is no reasonable likelihood of preserving the marriage.
Tamara’s prayers include the dissolution of marriage, fair division of marital property and debts, setting aside separate property to each party, no maintenance claims from either side, and the awarding of attorney’s fees to Tamara. Notably, the petition emphasizes joint legal and physical custody of the minor children, designating Tamara as the residential parent for educational and mailing purposes.
The parties have agreed to equally divide expenses for the minor children, with neither requesting support from the other. The filing underscores joint legal and physical custody, ensuring shared decision-making and residential responsibilities.
Jacqueline E. Young represents Tamara as her attorney. The document quotes the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, the pursuit of joint custody, the absence of maintenance requests, and the agreement to divide child-related expenses equally.
