POPOVICH, Judge,
concurring:
I join the majority’s decision to affirm the trial court’s granting of appellee’s petition to proceed under the new Divorce Code. The Divorce Code, Act of April 2, 1980, P.L. 63, Act No. 26, 23 P.S. § 101 et seq. This writer, however, would grant pro forma a petition filed by either party to proceed under the new Code in pending suits, except in those cases in which a final decree has been entered below prior to the effective date of the new Code. See Gordon v. Gordon, 293 Pa.Super. 491, 439 A.2d 683 (1981) (POPOVICH, J. Concurring Opinion).
