About
Josephia Rouse, Esq.

Josephia Elease Georgetta Rouse was named after her father, aunt, uncle, and grandmother. Her mother was rooted in the family and weaved that into all of Josephia’s upbringing.

It’s safe to say she was raised with a strong sense of family.

From an early age, she also saw how quickly life can change — how one moment can turn everything upside down.

That understanding is what led Josie to practice family law: helping clients set goals, take control of their lives, and provide for their loved ones.

Because she knows the choices you make today shape everything that comes next.

“Divorce can be stressful, but a divorce without a plan can be devastating! I am forever thankful to work with Ms. Josie Rouse, the CEO at Divorce With A Plan who made my experience the most peaceful one and most importantly with a comprehensive plan that works for me and the entire family. I highly recommend Ms. Rouse for her professionalism and efficiency to anyone going through a divorce.”

– Salifou B.

When Josie was 14 years old, her older sister was tragically killed. Though her death was ruled a suicide, questions remained unanswered, and her family was shaken by the profound tragedy.

This experience taught Josie two critical lessons: first, how an unexpected disaster can change a person’s life forever and how the systems meant to help can sometimes fall short.

Second, she learned that the practice of law can be a crucial life raft. With a competent, dedicated lawyer on your side, you can verify facts, gain access to certified documents, and make informed decisions based on what’s best for you and your family.

These lessons fueled Josie’s desire to seek truth and justice – and motivated her to become a lawyer. She began practicing law in 2013, and within a few years, she identified divorce and family law as the place where she could help families the most.

Clients come to Josie during divorces and separations that have completely upended their lives. It’s Josie’s mission to empower her clients, helping them navigate one of life’s most challenging transitions with a structured, strategic approach.

Josie works with clients who are ready to take control of their future, and to build a concrete plan to get there. By identifying her clients’ goals from the very beginning, and providing clear and regular communication throughout the legal process, Josie helps them protect what matters most: their identity, their loved ones, and their long-term security.

Outside of work, Josie’s focus is on her family: her beloved children, nieces, nephews, and grand-niece. Josie also values self-care, taking long walks in nature and enjoying the occasional spa day. By taking care of herself and her loved ones, Josie is able to show up for her clients with compassion, focus, and dedication.

Josie understands how unpredictable life can be – but she also knows that with the right support, people can come through stronger than ever.

More than anything, she’s committed to helping her clients reclaim control and build the future they deserve.
