Under New Jersey law, parties can take advantage of a limited "bed and board divorce" pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2A:34-6, short of an absolute divorce. But when does the alimony award take effect? It was error to assume that alimony dates back to the entry of the limited divorce. Instead, alimony should have been prospective only, beginning with the date of entry of the absolute divorce. Pipitone v. Pipitone, New Jersey App. Div., October 27, 2009
