(2) the interest of each party in continuing:

(i) to use the family use personal property or any part of it, or to occupy or use the family home or any part of it as a dwelling place; or

(ii) to use the family use personal property or any part of it, or to occupy or use the family home or any part of it for the production of income; and

(3) the cost of maintenance, insurance, assessments, and taxes; or

(4) any similar expenses in connection with the property.

(d) An order giving a party the sole possession and use of the family home under subsection (a) of this section does not affect the right of the other party to claim the family home as that party’s principal residence for tax purposes.
