More details to this question:
Does it matter when they were acquired (prior to marriage/during marriage)? Can we agree on how to split our assets and not have the outcome affect the alimony and child support?

How you treat your IRA's is really up to you. You can negotiate a division, a lump sum buyout/sellout, submit it for a Q ADRO analysis and recommendation.

You each get half of the other's that was acquired during the marriage. If one owes more than the other, you could have a balancing payment. Generally, the property settlement does not affect the child support. There is no alimony in Idaho, so I don't know about that.

If there is no agreement between Husband and Wife then the Judge makes a decision.
