Crypto in the Closet: Exposing Hidden Bitcoin in Divorce, with Jacqueline Newman


Listen Later

In this insightful episode of We Chat Divorce, we sit down with New York matrimonial law expert Jacqueline Newman to uncover the real story behind cryptocurrency in divorce. From the early days of “Bitcoin parties” to high-stakes cases involving millions in crypto, Jacqueline shares her experience dealing with digital assets during complex marital dissolutions.

Whether you're navigating a high-asset divorce or simply concerned your spouse might be hiding crypto, this episode breaks down what you need to know—and what your attorney should be asking for.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How digital assets like Bitcoin impact divorce settlements
  • Why cryptocurrency still feels “mysterious” and how to demystify it
  • Common mistakes when dealing with crypto during financial discovery
  • When to consider dividing assets “in kind” instead of assigning a value
  • The real cost of hiring forensic experts to uncover hidden crypto
  • Tips to protect yourself from financial blind spots during divorce
  • Key Takeaways from Jacqueline:

    • Always trace the source: “Every crypto purchase comes from somewhere—start with the bank statements.”
    • Consider dividing in-kind: This strategy helps both parties share in the gains (or losses) of volatile assets.
    • Don’t fear the unknown: Crypto is just another asset—fear fades with financial literacy and the right support.
    • Top 3 Documents to Request if You Suspect Hidden Crypto:

      • Complete bank and brokerage account statements
      • Sworn statements of net worth or financial affidavits
      • All crypto wallet addresses and digital exchange records
