> I got divorced last year and as part of the financial agreement, my ex-wife and I agreed that I would keep my cryptocurrency assets while she got the lion’s share of my pension and other investments

Not surprising that there was a divorce in the first place. What a moron.

> When I divorced my wife, we sold our house and split the money. I spent all $450,000 on lottery tickets and now I’m sleeping in my van.

There’s a reason they call it “high risk”.

Was the divorce finalized? If so they're probably out of luck. If still in progress this is a question for their attorney not the Internet.

The phrase “play stupid games, win stupid prizes” has never seemed so apt.

The only way this probably could work is if there was some kind of support agreement as part of the divorce settlement. The change in one spouse's wealth, might (but certainly not guaranteed) cause a reworking of the terms.
