LY Forensics for Family Law
Expert Cryptocurrency Forensics for Modern Family Law Practices
As family law practitioners, you're navigating a new frontier of digital assets like cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and other blockchain-based properties. These assets are now central to divorce settlements, estate planning, and asset division. Understanding and managing these digital assets is critical to achieving equitable outcomes for your clients.
At LY Forensics, we specialise in simplifying these complexities, providing expert crypto forensic services to ensure clarity, compliance, and fairness in your cases.
Why Cryptocurrency Matters
Asset Division & Disclosure
Cryptocurrency is treated like other marital assets under Australian law, requiring full disclosure under Rule 13.04 of the Family Law Rules 2004. Failure to uncover digital assets can impact settlements.
Tax Implications
Cryptocurrency is considered a capital investment by the ATO and is subject to Capital Gains Tax during asset division. Misreporting can lead to penalties.
Pre-Nuptial & Financial Agreements
Digital assets can be included in Binding Financial Agreements, offering financial security and fair asset distribution for your clients.
Court Orders & Protection
Cryptocurrency can be divided or sold under court orders. Our forensic services provide traceable evidence to support these decisions.
