Uncover hidden crypto assets in divorce proceedings
We help family lawyers and clients trace cryptocurrency holdings, uncover hidden wallets and produce court-ready reports for fair financial settlements.
The Challenge: Hidden & Hard-to-Value Crypto in Divorce
Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are increasingly used in divorce disputes. Their digital, decentralised and pseudo-anonymous nature makes them easy to conceal, but failing to disclose assets can lead to unfair outcomes.
Courts now recognise crypto as matrimonial property, but identifying and accurately valuing these assets presents unique challenges. Prices can fluctuate dramatically within hours, different exchanges may show different market rates and some assets (such as NFTs or illiquid tokens) have no straightforward valuation method.
This is why specialist forensic expertise is essential, to ensure assets are not only uncovered but also fairly assessed for disclosure and division.
