A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO ALLOW PARTIAL DISTRIBUTION AWARDS PRIOR TO FINAL JUDGMENT IN EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION CASES.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 50-20(i1) reads as rewritten:
"(i1)	For good cause shown, including, but not limited to, providing for the subsistence of a spouse while an action is pending, the Court may, at any time after an action for equitable distribution has been filed and prior to the final judgment of equitable distribution, enter orders declaring what is separate property and dividing part of the marital property between the parties.  The partial distribution may provide for a distributive award.  Any such orders entered shall be taken into consideration at trial."
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective October 1, 1995, and applies to all equitable distribution actions pending on or filed after that date.
