United States law
Crypto in US marital property law
Crypto as marital property
Under United States law, cryptocurrency acquired during a marriage or domestic partnership (depending on state law) may be marital or community property subject to equitable distribution or division under applicable state law.
Full disclosure obligations
Both parties must fully disclose all cryptocurrency assets. Failure to disclose digital holdings can result in court penalties, adverse cost orders, and revised settlements.
Detecting hidden holdings
Blockchain forensics can trace cryptocurrency movements, identify undisclosed wallets, and detect transfers made to conceal assets before or during separation.
Overseas asset tracing
We follow holdings across international exchanges and foreign jurisdictions, supporting cases where crypto has been moved offshore to avoid disclosure.
Valuation at key dates
We provide accurate valuations at legally significant dates - such as separation or settlement - ensuring fair division based on verifiable market prices.
Types of assets we handle
Bitcoin and Bitcoin forks, Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens, stablecoins, NFTs, DeFi positions, staking rewards, and centralised and decentralised exchange accounts.
