determined after the parties file their 2010 tax return(s).

other's pension, profit-sharing, retirement, credit union, 401(k), IRA, Keogh or other
employment-related plans; as well as, any future Social Security Retirement the parties

other party; the opportunity of each party for further acquisitions of capital assets and
income; the sources of income of both parties, including but not limited to medical,
retirement, insurance or other benefits; the contribution or dissipation of each party in the
acquisition, preservation, depreciation or appreciation of the marital property, including the
contribution of each spouse as a homemaker, the value of the property set apart to each
party; the standard of living of the parties established during the marriage; and the
economic circumstances of each party at the time the division of the property is to become
effective.
