New Zealand law
Settlement under the Property (Relationships) Act 1976
Parties can agree on the division of relationship property without court proceedings - but cryptocurrency must be properly identified and valued before a fair settlement can be reached. Independent forensic analysis protects both parties.
Why technical evidence matters in settlement
Without independent forensic analysis, one party may be settling on incomplete or inaccurate information. Structured evidence packs ensure negotiations are based on verified holdings, not assumptions or incomplete disclosure.
Mediation and the role of expert evidence
In mediated settlement discussions, forensic findings help mediators and parties understand what crypto assets exist, what they are worth, and what on-chain evidence supports. Technical briefings make complex blockchain evidence accessible to all participants.
If settlement fails
All settlement support work product is structured to convert directly into court-ready forensic reports without duplication of cost or analysis. If negotiations break down, the same forensic foundation supports Family Court proceedings.
