Ala. Code § 30-2-2: Divorce from Bonds of Matrimony After Judgment of Divorce from Bed and Board or of Separate Maintenance in Effect for More Than Two Years.

The circuit court shall have the power to divorce persons from the bonds of matrimony in favor of either party where there has been a final judgment of divorce from bed and board or of separate maintenance, when such judgment has been in force and effect for more than two years. The fact that the party against whom such action is brought may also have some grounds for divorce shall not constitute any defense to any proceeding under this section.
