(1) The court must consider the financial and non-financial contributions made directly or indirectly by or for the de facto partners or a child of the de facto partners to—

(a) the acquisition, conservation or improvement of any of the property of either or both of the de facto partners; and

(b) the financial resources of either or both of the de facto partners.
