        The conduct of the parties, including whether there has been an unreasonable depletion of marital assets.
        The desirability of awarding the family home, or the right to live in it for a reasonable period of time to the party with custody of the child, if any.
        The circumstances and necessities of each party.
        The time and manner of acquisition of the property in question.
        The income producing capacity of the property and the value of the property at the time of division. [Based on Alaska Statutes 25.24.160]
