Seeking a Fair and Equitable Resolution of Marital Property
Handling the legal question of how the community property can be divided equitably can be both complex and contentious. This is especially true when the couple has substantial assets.
At John M. Gantus & Associates, we can assist you with determining what counts as community property and what is your separate property. This often involves a determination of how your assets and debts were handled during the marriage. In some circumstances, we consult with forensic accountants to demonstrate that treatment, as well as to identify any hidden assets. Ultimately, our goal is to protect your personal assets.
Once the proper categorization of your assets and debts is complete, we provide knowledgeable counsel and vigorously represent your interests in the division of marital assets such as:
- Homes and real estate investments
- Family-owned businesses and professional practices
- Stocks, bonds, pensions, retirement plans, 401(k) plans and investments
- Insurance and medical benefits
- College funds and other family assets
We can also guide you on the potential tax effects your divorce agreement may have and what options are available in order to limit undue tax consequences.
Child Custody, Visitation, Child Support and Spousal Support

As a divorce lawyer, John Gantus is committed to using negotiation and mediation where possible to avoid long, drawn-out disputes in court. When it is in your best interest and that of your children, however, he will protect your rights in court.
