403.050 Divorce from bed and board -- Grounds and legal effect.

Divorce from bed and board may be rendered for any cause that allows divorce, or for any

other cause that the court in its discretion considers sufficient. A divorce from bed and

board shall operate as to property thereafter acquired, and upon the personal rights and

legal capacities of the parties, as a divorce from the bond of matrimony, except that

neither shall marry again during the life of the other, and except that it shall not bar

curtesy, dower or distributive right. The judgment may be revised or set aside at any time

by the court rendering it.
