Couples often separate long before the decision to divorce is made. Or, due to various disputes, divorce proceedings take up many months or even years. You cannot be expected to put your life on hold during that time – indeed it could be argued that to secure the future of you and your children, it is vital to take pro-active steps to achieve your ambitions.
However, if you do start a business during divorce proceedings, you must take steps to ensure it does not become part of the financial settlement. At RVS Solicitors, our team of family law Solicitors, led by Rakhi Singal, have the legal knowledge and experience to advise those planning to start a business during divorce proceedings.
At RVS Solicitors, we understand commercial realities and can provide smart, practical advice on pursuing setting up a business whilst your divorce is going through. To help keep costs down, we run a paperless office and provide video conferencing facilities, saving you time from having to come into our office to speak to us. In addition, all our clients have access to our client portal, allowing them to keep up to date with how their matter is progressing.
We’ve taken steps that reduce our operating costs whilst modernising our approach, and we are passing on the savings to you.

Financial Orders cannot be made until divorce proceedings are at least half-way through. Therefore, if you and your spouse decided to wait two years before divorcing so as to avoid blaming one another for adultery or unreasonable behaviour, this leaves plenty of time for one party’s financial situation to improve; or for a business to be launched. If this happens, the non-business owning spouse may argue that it is unfair not to take the business and its assets into consideration when making a Financial Order.
The key determinant as to whether a new business will be included in a Financial Order is whether the needs of both spouses can be met without having to resort to sharing assets acquired post-separation. This decision will be made by examining the factors set out in section 25 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973. If the needs cannot be met with assets from the marriage, then the post-separation business and its assets can be shared.
The most robust way of protecting your fledgling business started post-separation is to draw up a Separation Agreement. This will set out how a couple’s finances will be ultimately divided and can specifically exclude one spouses claim to a new business venture.
Although not legally binding, a Separation Agreement, where both parties have received independent legal advice, will carry strong weight with the Court.
Rakhi and her team can advise on and draft a comprehensive Separation Agreement which can protect your commercial interests.

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.
