“" 'Matters such as alimony and property division are within the sound discretion of the trial court. Ex parte Drummond , 785 So.2d 358 (Ala. 2000) ; Parrish v. Parrish , 617 So.2d 1036 (Ala. Civ. App. 1993) ; and Montgomery v. Montgomery , 519 So.2d 525 (Ala. Civ. App. 1987). The issues of property division and alimony are interrelated, and they must be considered together on appeal. Albertson v. Albertson , 678 So.2d 118 (Ala. Civ. App. 1996). " 'In dividing property and awarding alimony, a trial court should consider "the earning abilities of the parties; the future prospects of the parties; their ages and health; the duration of the marriage; [the parties'] station[s] in life; the marital properties and their sources, values, and types; and the conduct of the parties in relation to the cause of the divorce." Russell v. Russell , 777 So.2d 731 , 733 (Ala. Civ. App. 2000). Also, a trial court is not required to make an equal division of the marital property, but it must make an equitable division based upon the particular facts and circumstances of the case. Golden v. Golden , 681 So.2d 605 (Ala. Civ. App. 1996) ; and Brewer v. Brewer , 695 So.2d 1 (Ala. Civ. App. 1996). "A property division that favors one party over another does not necessarily indicate an abuse of discretion." Fell v. Fell , 869 So.2d 486 , 496 (Ala. Civ. App. 2003) (citing Dobbs v. Dobbs , 534 So.2d 621 (Ala. Civ. App. 1988) ).' " Turnbo v. Turnbo , 938 So.2d 425 , 429-30 (Ala. Civ. App. 2006)."”
