Baltimore divorce and family law — strategy-first representation with monthly updates and clear communication · 1537 Light St, Suite 100, Baltimore, MD 21230
Divorce With A Plan was built by Josephia Rouse around a simple idea — most divorce clients are scared, not litigious, and what they actually want is a plan. The firm starts with a free 30-minute strategy call, defines what success looks like (kids, house, retirement, business), and gives you a budget before you commit. Best fit for: a parent or spouse who wants strategy and communication, not a firm that bills you to argue. They handle contested cases when needed, but every case starts with a plan.
Divorce With A Plan offers flat fees for uncontested divorces ($1,800–$3,500) and a flat retainer plus hourly ($325–$425/hr) for contested matters. Most contested cases require a $3,500–$10,000 initial retainer. Free 30-minute strategy call before you commit.

Reviews summarized from public sources, tagged by the legal situation involved.
Josephia gave me a plan in the first 30 minutes — what to ask for, what to give up. Settled 50/50 custody without a contested trial. My kids barely noticed the transition.
I was terrified of losing the business in the divorce. The team built a valuation strategy and we kept the company intact. Three months from filing to decree.
I'd been out of the workforce for 14 years. They built a case for rehabilitative alimony I never would have known to ask for. Three years of support to get back on my feet.
