AREAS OF PRACTICE

DIVORCE

Ending a marriage can be complicated and emotionally
troubling. I can help you with the intricacies of divorce filing, property
division, child custody, child support, and alimony.

CHILD SUPPORT

If you have a child with someone you are no longer in a relationship with, there may be custody, parenting time, and child support issues. A parent is usually required to pay child support until the child is 18 or 21.

MODIFICATION

Changes in income or other circumstances may require you to modify your parenting plan or child support. I understand the nuances of Missouri law and can advise you on how to request or prevent a modification.

CHILD CUSTODY

Feelings can run very high in legal matters involving child custody and your rights as a parent. An experienced representative can help you achieve the most favorable result possible in the best interest of your child.

PATERNITY

Determining the parentage of a child is extremely important. I can help you establish the truth and fight for your rights to ensure your child has the proper support and care they deserve.

CONTEMPT

Contempt of court is a procedure that is available to enforce a court order when someone knows what they are ordered to do, is able to comply, but chooses not to comply.

"Tana is a reliable lawyer that aided in my International Case. Her and her team- Claire were very helpful and in response to queries on time. She started the work immediately after I was off the phone with her. I was amazed when it came to paperwork, she was very efficient. I had an International child custody case, she made me acquire my request through her professional guidance and her team. Keep up with the good work. I was blessed to have you represent me. So grateful."
"Tana has been a wonderful skilled asset in working through complex legal questions, issues, and long term concerns. She has gone above and beyond to offer valid information to me whenever I need."
"Tana is a phenomenal attorney. Her ability to listen, willingness to understand abstract case details, and formulate a strategy that best fits her clients remains unparalleled. Her ability to foster a positive attorney-client relationship is only outweighed by her vigilance in the courtroom. Her office staff have been friendly and helpful throughout this hard process, communicating with me promptly, ensuring that I understand the legal processes that take place."
"Tana is so professional!!! She is personable and patient. I am going back for sure. Tana and her staff always responded when I had questions. Nothing but a positive experience."
"I have had Tana Benner as my counsel for close to 2 years now. My case is extremely complex and ongoing so I can't speak to how ( or if ) it will conclude. I ditched my old attorney in favor of her in the middle of this nasty case and Tana got up to speed quickly. She also went the extra mile and did further research to aid in my case. She has been honest every step of the way. She has made sure I knew where I stood and what I stood to lose. Tana is extremely sharp and picks up on details many miss, including recognizing someone on the opposing party's witness list being personal friends with opposing counsel when the witness walked in to testify. She is a good attorney and will be a force to be reckoned with."
"Tana handled updates to several of my legal documents when I moved to Columbia. Working with her was great. She was professional, courteous, and friendly. Everything was completed on schedule, and to my requirements."
