It is presumed that a 50/50 distribution of the marital assets and debts is just and reasonable in all divorce actions. However, a party may challenge this presumed distribution by offering evidence to the court that a 50/50 distribution would not be just and reasonable in their particular case. Relevant factors that could justify a deviation are set forth in Indiana Code Sec.31-15-7-5 and include the following:
"(1) The contribution of each spouse to the acquisition of the property, regardless of whether the contribution was income producing.
(3) The
economic circumstances of each spouse at the time the disposition of the
property is to become effective, including the desirability of awarding
the family residence or the right to dwell in the family residence for
such periods as the court considers just to the spouse having custody of
any children.
(4) The conduct of the parties during the marriage as related to the disposition or dissipation of their property.
