Matrimonial investigations

Crypto concealment
in divorce.

Digital assets can be omitted from disclosure, fragmented across wallets, or described in ways that understate ownership and value. We turn the available financial and blockchain evidence into a clear, court-ready picture.

The investigative question

What exists, who controls it,
and what is it worth?

A crypto holding may leave indicators in bank statements, exchange records, tax material, devices, correspondence, company accounts, or prior representations of wealth. Blockchain records can then help test the disclosure against observable transactions.

A wallet address does not by itself prove beneficial ownership. Our work combines on-chain analysis with off-chain evidence and clearly distinguishes established facts, analytical findings, and matters requiring further disclosure.

Dissecting concealment

The playbook we test

01Ownership is omittedAccounts, wallets, transactions, or historic holdings do not appear in disclosure despite evidence of crypto activity.
02Holdings are fragmentedValue is spread across services, addresses, assets, or entities, making the overall position difficult to see from one record.
03Control is obscuredAssets may be attributed to a company, associate, hardware wallet, or inaccessible account without sufficient supporting evidence.
04Value is minimisedSelective dates, unexplained transfers, alleged losses, or incomplete transaction histories may produce an unreliable valuation.
