Program Summary

While spouses hiding assets from divorce court is nothing new, cryptocurrencies are changing the game. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can be purchased for cash, held electronically without the help of a third party, and transferred nearly anonymously. This course will provide attorneys with an understanding of cryptocurrency and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), how they can be identified, tracked, and valued. The course will also discuss tax concepts for digital assets and how they impact divorcing spouses that may be splitting crypto assets and the associated tax basis / embedded gain/losses of those assests.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • What is cryptocurrency?
  • Types of “wallets” a spouse might use to hold/hide cryptocurrency
  • Cryptocurrency exchanges and obtaining documents
  • Documents available
  • Investigative Techniques
  • Questions attorneys should ask their clients

Date / Time: December 9, 2025

  • 2:00 pm – 4:10 pm Eastern
  • 1:00 pm – 3:10 pm Central
  • 12:00 pm – 2:10 pm Mountain
