MEMORANDUM OPINION

ROBERT G. MAYER, Bankruptcy Judge.

The issue before the court is whether the debtor's wife should be granted relief from the automatic stay to pursue equitable distribution of property of the bankruptcy estate in a pending divorce case. The debtor and the chapter 7 trustee opposed the motion. Relief, consistent with the wife's needs in the divorce proceeding but crafted to protect the bankruptcy estate, will be granted.
