Process

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Initial enquiry

    Contact us directly or have your attorney reach out with a brief outline of the matter. We'll respond within 24 hours. Everything is strictly confidential from the first conversation.

  2. Step 2

    Scoping call with counsel or party

    We speak with you or your attorney to understand the situation, assess what forensic work is needed, and confirm how we can help. No obligation.

  3. Step 3

    Engagement and NDA

    We agree scope, timeline, and fees. A full NDA is signed before any work begins. All engagements are strictly confidential.

  4. Step 4

    Forensic analysis and reporting

    We conduct the analysis, produce court-ready reports and valuations, and remain available for questions from counsel throughout.

  5. Step 5

    Settlement support or testimony

    Where required, we provide expert witness testimony and support settlement negotiations with forensic documentation and valuations.

United States law

Cryptocurrency and US marital property law

  • Crypto as marital property

    Under applicable state 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 - unless a valid separate property claim applies.

  • The disclosure problem

    Cryptocurrency is easy to hide without forensic analysis. Self-custody wallets, overseas exchanges, and DeFi positions may not appear in standard financial disclosure - making specialist tracing essential for a fair division.

  • Separation date valuation

    The date of separation often determines the value at which crypto is divided. We establish point-in-time valuations using verifiable market data and documented methodology that withstands family court scrutiny.

  • Family court standards

    Reports must meet family court evidentiary standards - clear methodology, reproducible analysis, plain English summaries, and technical appendices. Our documentation is structured for proceedings under applicable state property division laws.
