What is an Interim Distribution?
An interim distribution, which is also known as an interim allocation is the distribution of a marital asset during a pending equitable distribution action. Unless good cause is shown why the court should not make an interim distribution, for good cause, a judge can classify specific property, and make either an in-kind distribution to both parties or a distributive award to one party. In the event that a court does make an interim distribution, it must take the distribution into account during the final equitable distribution award.
