About the Webinar

It was unlikely to have been in contemplation at the time the Family Law Act was drafted that it would one day need to deal with cryptocurrency, non-fungible tokens and other digital assets. It is now estimated that approximately five million Australians own cryptocurrency with that number on the rise. Digital assets are therefore not only here to stay but will become more common in family law over the next few decades. To help family lawyers understand digital assets and ask the right questions to ensure their existence in a matter is uncovered and can be disclosed and dealt with by the Court, this session will explore:

  • Different types of digital assets - what they are and how they work, including crypto wallets, staking, and smart contracts
  • DeFi (decentralised finance) - how it operates, what to do if digital assets are locked up in a DeFi process and when to seek specialist advice (and from who)
  • What questions to ask of your client or the other party to identify digital assets
  • How digital assets are valued and evidentiary issues and limitations
  • Tips for how to deal with digital assets including how to frame orders and dealing with liquidity issues and fluctuating value of digital assets
