It may depend on what your bed and board judgment and/or property settlement agreement says. For example, the bed and board judgment or the PSA might have a clause in there that both parties agreed to wait until a certain period of time before applying for an absolute divorce. The first step is to review those documents. If those documents are silent on the issue, then you should file a motion in the family court to convert your bed and board divorce to an absolute divorce.
You should consider meeting with an attorney well-versed in these areas. I recommend you seek a law firm that concentrates in family law. This concentration allows the attorneys to better understand the issues and complexities of you matter.

Good luck.
