What is Divorce From Bed and Board?
Unlike absolute divorce, a divorce from bed and board is one that is based on a legal separation of the parties. Despite its name, a divorce from bed and board does not dissolve the marriage: rather, it is a court-ordered decree of legal separation. The matrimonial bonds still exist, so neither spouse has the right to remarry.
