Our team has years of experience in handling domestic violence issues, we can assist you with putting in place protective measures and seeking a divorce or separation from your abusive partner once you and your children are safe.
If you are in immediate danger, please call 999. You can also visit https://www.refuge.org.uk/ for additional support.
If you are affected by domestic violence, it is important to know you are not alone. There are many services available to provide protection, help you reach safety, and start to rebuild your life free of violence, aggression, and fear.
According to the government’s own figures, nearly two million people aged between 16 and 59 were affected by domestic violence in the year up to March 2017; 1.2 million were women, and over 700,000 were men.
Our solicitors are highly experienced in dealing with men and women affected by violence in the home. Your well-being and that of your children is our absolute priority.
We believe that no one should ever have to live with threats or acts of violence, and as such, we will fight your corner every step of the way.
We will take the time to listen to the details of your story, understand your wishes, advise you on the options you have available, and then we will put in place a plan of action to move you towards a positive and safe future.
You can be 100% assured that we uphold a strict code of privacy, and anything you tell us is in complete confidence.

Domestic abuse is any incident (or series of incidents) of actual or threatened violence or coercive or controlling behaviour between people aged over 16 years who are in an intimate relationship, or members of the same family. Gender has no bearing on whether the actions or behaviour are considered domestic abuse.
Types of abuse may include:
In December 2015, the government made acts of coercion and control a statutory criminal offence under the Serious Crime Act 2015 (the 2015 Act).
Controlling behaviour can include:
Coercion includes acts of violent threats and actual assault, humiliation, and intimidation used to instil fear or to harm or punish another person.
For the law to apply, there must have been a ‘purposeful pattern’ of coercion and control, which has taken place over time, as distinct from a one-off behaviour.
If you are a victim of domestic violence and in immediate danger, contact the police on 999.
If you are not in immediate danger, we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible. We understand that in cases of domestic violence, those affected are often frightened to seek professional assistance, because of fear of inflaming the situation even further.
By speaking to us, you can be assured that your safety and security, and that of your children, is our absolute priority, and will firstly assist you to ensure this is in place. There are a range of legal protections available to you, and we can help you seek these as quickly as possible, in a manner that respects your situation and needs.
The two main legal protections available for those affected by domestic violence are Domestic Violence Protection Orders (DVPOs) and Domestic Violence Protection Notices (DVPNs). These work as follows:
Our team has years of experience in handling domestic violence issues, and we can put you in touch with support agencies and counselling services to help you regain your strength and feel in control of your life. In addition, we can assist you with seeking a divorce or separation from your abusive partner once you and your children are safe.
At RVS Solicitors, we work much more collaboratively with our clients than a traditional law firm and seek a non-confrontational approach to resolving disputes wherever possible. By instructing us, you can be assured that we take a considerable interest in the needs of you and your children. We value the trusted relationship we develop with our clients, and in turn, they feel supported and confident that their matter is in the best hands.
Our experience of representing clients in complex family matters, allied to our relationships with some of the top family barristers in the UK, means you can relax in the knowledge that no stone will be left unturned in the pursuit of the best outcome for you and your children so you can move on to a brighter future, free from fear and harm.

Divorce process can be a very stressful and emotional period in your life, but if you do everything...
Excellent service for my wife’s spousal visa from Lusine: very detailed advice, friendly and approachable. Also flexible in contact by email and provided an excellent cover letter.
I highly recommend Dr. Lusine Navasardyan, as she is professional, intelligent, hard worker and cheerful, she helped us from the beginning of our case until the very end, when she prepared a strong bundle with over 385 pages, which helped us get a successful victory in our Asylum case . I strongly recommend her as I really appreciate all the professional work that she has done . Many thanks to her.
Dr. Lusine has been working on my case. She has been very professional and a reliable person. She was always attending to my queries and she has always been very friendly throughout my case.
I am very happy with the level and quality of service I got from Dr. Lusine Navasardyan. She is very professional while creating a friendly and comforting relationship with her clients. The service from Lusine was professional,efficient and well organised. Lusine worked extremely hard at resolving my all issues while getting the best result.
So Rakhi Singal of RVS has just handled my divorce, it was a very complex case and I came to Rakhi at the very last minute on a friend’s recommendation. My case was a mess and I stood to lose everything.
Dealing with Rakhi was more like having In-House counsel than hiring a law firm, she does not approach her clients as a cash machine like many law firms do, she works with you to manage and minimise your costs and de-escalate conflict rather than throw wood on the fire.
She took a huge personal interest in my case, she was always available on the phone, very quick to respond to emails and is very honest and trustworthy.
My ex had huge spending power and used a team of high profile solicitors against me, Rakhi literally saved me from complete ruin and helped me get a very fair deal with me spending 6 times less than my ex on legal fees.
Thank you, my new family and I will be forever grateful!!!!
Could not be more pleased with the results!
I approached RVS solicitors as they were highly recommended and now I completely understand why. Soon as I contacted Rakhi I knew I wanted to use her, she was so professional and easy to get along with. I was faced with clients who were refusing the pay invoices, Rakhi immediately reassured me that she was able to help me and recoup these costs. She dealt with the whole process very professionally.
Really impressed with Rakhi’s dedication to our case and her knowledge and experience on dealing with the case. She communicated with us throughout the process, providing me with regular updates. Thank you so much, I cannot vouch for her work enough and RAW Invites are happy for you to continue to act for all their matters in the future.
