WIEAND, Judge,
concurring:
I agree with the majority that the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County had jurisdiction to decree equitable distribution of marital property as part of the divorce action pending in that court. I also agree that the divorce court’s decree did not constitute an abuse of discretion. Therefore, I agree finally that the order appealed from should be affirmed. With respect to the relationship between the divorce action in Allegheny County and the partition action in Westmoreland County, however, I continue to adhere to the view expressed in my Concurring and Dissenting Opinion in Goldstein v. Goldstein, 354 Pa.Super. 490, 512 A.2d 644 (1986).
ROWLEY and McEWEN, JJ., join in the concurring opinion by WIEAND, J.
