Financial Remedy · Digital Asset Investigation
Where the money moved on-chain, we follow it.
Nick Puna brings six years in blockchain and cryptocurrency together with family law support — tracing, valuing and evidencing digital assets for financial remedy hearings.
The problem
Crypto is the easiest asset to hide in a divorce — and now the hardest to ignore.
Cryptocurrency leaves no bank statement, sits outside traditional institutions and moves across borders in seconds. Since the Property (Digital Assets etc) Act 2025, English law treats it as personal property — a matrimonial asset that must be fully and frankly disclosed. When one party stays quiet, the ledger rarely does.
The method
An evidence trail built from the fiat in to the wallet out.
Forensic tracing works inward — from the paper trail everyone can see, to the on-chain movements few know how to read. Each step is documented so it stands up as evidence.
Follow the fiat
Bank statements reveal transfers to exchanges such as Coinbase or Kraken — establishing that crypto exists and at what scale.
Cross-check the records
HMRC self-assessment and capital-gains entries expose trading activity and flag mismatches between declared income and lifestyle.
Analyse the blockchain
Public ledgers are permanent. Wallet addresses are followed and clustered to link pseudonymous accounts back to one person.
Value & evidence
Holdings are valued at the relevant date and set out in a clear, court-ready report to support disclosure and settlement.
The service
Crypto forensic support for financial remedy proceedings.
Working alongside solicitors, litigants in person and other McKenzie Friends — bringing technical clarity to the digital side of the asset schedule.
Hidden asset tracing
Identifying undisclosed wallets, exchange accounts and holdings from banking, tax and on-chain evidence.
Blockchain analysis
Following and clustering wallet activity across public ledgers to connect addresses to a party.
Valuation at date
Valuing Bitcoin, altcoins, NFTs and DeFi positions at the relevant date, accounting for volatility.
Form E disclosure support
Helping parties disclose — or scrutinise — digital assets to the full and frank standard the court expects.
Court-ready reporting
Plain-English written analysis structured to support hearings and settlement discussions.
Family law support
Separation, divorce, child arrangements, consent orders and financial remedy, as a McKenzie Friend and paralegal.
About Nick Puna
Family law support, with a specialist eye for the digital ledger.
Nick Puna is a McKenzie Friend and paralegal in family law, offering the right support at an affordable price. Alongside that practice he brings six years of hands-on experience in blockchain and cryptocurrency — a combination that matters when a financial settlement turns on assets that never appear on a bank statement.
The aim is straightforward: make the crypto side of a case understandable, disclosable and evidenced, so nothing of value quietly slips off the asset schedule.
Nick Puna is a McKenzie Friend and paralegal, not a solicitor, and provides litigation support and forensic analysis rather than regulated legal advice or representation. Crypto forensic work supports disclosure and evidence; it does not constitute investment or financial advice. Case references are drawn from public reporting.
