We understand and have seen at first hand the implications of pre and post-nuptial agreements and so can guide you to make the best decisions for you and your children. We work with many high-net-worth individuals, often who are entering into a second, or third marriage, who want to know that their best interests are protected.
Our point of difference is that our solicitors take the matters of our clients very close to heart. We invest a great deal of time into getting to know our client’s circumstances, needs, and wishes for the future. While working with us, if you have a question, you will have our direct contact details to speak to us.
Pre and postnuptial agreements can be complex and require a solid understanding of the law and the downstream impact of not wording a clause correctly, or not including it at all. We take the time and care to prompt new thinking in our clients; if there is an element you had not considered, we will tell you – as they say ‘you don’t know what you don’t know’. An expertly drafted agreement can save you a great deal of money and stress in future years if you, unfortunately, need to rely on its contents.

These are also referred to as a pre-registration agreement and form a contract between the parties to a pending marriage, or civil partnership, which defines what should happen should the relationship cease. Finances form the main elements prenuptial agreements; however, it may also include the jurisdiction in which the divorce or dissolution will be handled if you are an international couple.
Anyone who has assets such as a business, property, or investments should contemplate a prenuptial agreement because it is likely that any significant assets you bring into the marriage or civil partnership will become matrimonial property. As such, your collective assets and wealth must be split on divorce or dissolution.
Post-nuptial agreements are drafted when a couple are already married or in a civil partnership and are becoming increasingly common. A postnuptial agreement may be sought for example if a party to a marriage or civil partnership discovers that their spouse has been unfaithful, leading them to put in place measures to ensure their financial protection should the behaviour continue, and they ultimately decide to separate.
Any pre and postnuptial agreement must be sufficiently robust to hold up in court. Therefore, you should seek a solicitor to draft your agreement. RVS Solicitors are not only highly experienced in drafting legally solid pre and post-nuptial agreements, we believe in a non-confrontational approach in all our client matters. By working closely with you and taking the time to get to know you and your circumstances, we develop a trusted environment in which to discuss the contents of the agreement. Openness, honesty, and fairness are essential to ensuring the best agreement is drafted, and we work hard to promote these in our dealings with clients.
It is important to draft a nuptial agreement with full consideration for what may happen in the future, whether that be regarding children, business interests, changes to income, ill-health, and inheritance. As such, nuptial agreements are living documents that we regularly update in conjunction with our clients. By actively seeking to ensure your pre or post-nuptial agreements is kept current and relevant to the evolving circumstances of your life, we help to protect your interests through the lifespan of your marriage or partnership.
No, technically neither are legally binding in UK law, but they are deemed to be persuasive and often decisive by the courts when deciding on assets should be divided following divorce or dissolution.

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.

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.
