Program Summary

Cryptocurrency is becoming a more and more common asset divorce attorneys see in divorce cases. Unfortunately, many attorneys don’t know the first thing about it or what to do when it becomes an issue in a divorce. Cryptocurrency can be one of the most valuable assets a marital estate may have. It is also one of the easiest ways to hide money for a tech savvy spouse, but a dishonest spouse. This course will teach divorce attorneys the basics of cryptocurrency and what to watch out for in divorce cases.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • What is cryptocurrency, how it works, and the definitions of common terms used in cryptocurrency
  • How cryptocurrency is bought and sold and how to locate cryptocurrency assets
  • Questions to ask in discovery and when it may be necessary to hire an expert

Ms. Burris has settled and litigated complex custody cases and property cases involving multi-million dollar estates. She has also successfully litigated child custody relocation cases. Ms. Burris said those experiences allow her to inform her clients of the best possible options and do what is right for them in each case.
