Cryptocurrency shows up in divorces and high-stakes litigation with increasing frequency, bringing new discovery, valuation, and enforcement challenges. This program teams a family-law litigator (Katie Pandolfini) with a testifying forensic crypto expert (Victoria Fife) to connect courtroom strategy with hands-on tracing methods. You’ll learn how to spot likely crypto holdings, follow money across chains and exchanges, and secure usable records fast. We’ll demystify valuation choices, what date to use, which pricing sources to trust, and how to handle volatile positions. We’ll also talk about the various cryptocurrency scams permeating family law litigation.
By the end, you’ll be able to build defensible tracing narratives, negotiate or litigate division of digital assets, and move or account for the crypto when it’s time to enforce.
