Incredibly Knowledgeable and Dedicated
Kyra Lucas-Millbrook is incredibly knowledgeable, and before representing me, she shared some truly eye-opening experiences from complex cases she has handled successfully. Those conversations gave me confidence for her to represent me and reinforced just how capable and dedicated she is. With her professionalism, honesty, and care, it's rare to find someone who combines legal expertise with a highly respectable level of integrity. I am so glad we connected and moved forward.

Having the right attorney made all the difference
Going through a divorce is never easy, but having the right attorney made all the difference. From start to finish, Renae Kenny was professional, straightforward, and completely focused on protecting my interests. I never felt like I was left guessing; she handled everything with clarity and purpose, and the outcome reflected that. I walked away feeling like my rights and priorities were truly represented. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Renae to anyone in need of a divorce attorney.

They Got Me a Favorable Outcome
Carleshia Jimerson and Debora Cornelia Curt got me a favorable outcome today in what has been the toughest battle of my life. Debora has worked and been patient with me throughout the entire process, and Carleshia on a moment’s whim was able to essentially win my case with no prior preparation. She crushed opposing counsel and tore down their plan to hurt me.

A Ray of Sunshine Throughout
I cannot tell you the amount of relief we felt almost immediately after hiring Ms. Curt for our legal issue.

She was very knowledgeable in her field and quickly put together a plan of action so we knew each step to take and were able to walk confidently into each courtroom appearance. Our case was wrapped up fairly quickly and with the best possible outcome we could have asked for. My sincerest gratitude to Ms. Curt and the rest of the Owenby Law Firm in Orange Park.

I Highly Recommend My Lawyer, Renae Kenny
I highly recommend my lawyer, Renae Kenny. My divorce was high conflict, spouse hiding income, but she stayed calm, strategic, and professional throughout. Renae is meticulous with details, honest, shows real empathy, and cares. Always returned my calls/emails promptly. Thanks to her, I received a fair settlement after Renae fought for me when others would have given up on such a difficult case. Renae is a true advocate/friend. I was not just considered a case number. I highly recommend her. I can never thank you enough, Renae.

Krishawn Wiggins
Absolutely fantastic and great to work with
Briana was absolutely fantastic and great to work with. Good and easy to communicate with. Achieved everything I wanted out of this case and then some. Definitely would recommend! She is the reason why I give 5 stars on here, BUT if you look for a lawyer, take your time and compare the prices. Owenby Law is priced high compared to others, but in my case was worth the money. I wished a bit more overall heads-up on what a case would cost in total would have been nice. Of course, an exact number is always hard to estimate, but I feel it would help future clients to navigate the financial side a bit easier. Communication again with the billing department was great, and they always answer the calls and try to help. Overall, I would recommend this law firm!

She Represented Me With Speed and Precision
Thank you to Owenby Law and specifically Sharnice Perry (my legal attorney for family divorce). She represented me with speed and precision. She was extremely knowledgeable on military family law and is very firm when protecting her client's legal rights. She doesn't feed you a load of bs or beat around the bush. And the best part... she is intelligently down to earth and professionally fun, which is much needed when going through this process.

Yes, custody arrangements can be modified if there is a significant change in circumstances that affects the child's best interests. A formal request to modify the custody order must be filed with the court, which will assess the proposed changes and decide if they benefit the child.
How do visitation rights work?
Visitation rights are granted to the non-custodial parent to ensure they maintain a relationship with the child. The visitation schedule is typically outlined in the custody agreement and may include weekends, holidays, and vacation periods. Both parents are encouraged to be flexible and communicate well for success.
What is sole custody?
Sole custody means one parent has the primary responsibility for the child's upbringing. This parent makes key decisions regarding the child's welfare, education, and health. The non-custodial parent may have visitation rights but not decision-making authority without agreement from the custodial parent.
What is child custody?
Child custody refers to the legal terms set by the court to decide who is responsible for the care and decision-making of a child after a divorce or separation. It can include physical custody, which is where the child lives, and legal custody, which involves decision-making rights about the child's welfare, education, and health.
