• (4) for the division between the parties of their property, including retirement benefits, whether joint or separate, acquired only during marriage, in a just manner and without regard to which of the parties is in fault; however, the court, in making the division, may invade the property, including retirement benefits, of either spouse acquired before marriage when the balancing of the equities between the parties requires it; and to accomplish this end the judgment may require that one or both of the parties assign, deliver, or convey any of their real or personal property, including retirement benefits, to the other party; the division of property must fairly allocate the economic effect of divorce by being based on consideration of the following factors:
• (A) the length of the marriage and station in life of the parties during the marriage;
• (B) the age and health of the parties;
• (C) the earning capacity of the parties, including their educational backgrounds, training, employment skills, work experiences, length of absence from the job market, and custodial responsibilities for children during the marriage;
• (D) the financial condition of the parties, including the availability and cost of health insurance;
• (E) the conduct of the parties, including whether there has been unreasonable depletion of marital assets;
• (F) the desirability of awarding the family home, or the right to live in it for a reasonable period of time, to the party who has primary physical custody of children;
• (G) the circumstances and necessities of each party;
• (H) the time and manner of acquisition of the property in question; and
• (I) the income-producing capacity of the property and the value of the property at the time of division;
