English translation: Where in original??

Law/Patents - Law (general) / International Child abduction
Spanish term or phrase: ponemos de manifiesto
I am having trouble understanding the last portion of this "sentence":

Por otro lado no queda acreditado en el expediente que el padre hubiese ejercido la custodia de forma efectiva, aspecto este que, junto al hecho del periodo transcurrido desde el traslado,

On the other hand the expedient that the father has exercised custody effectively is unsubstantiated, an aspect which, together with the period of time elapsed from the time of transfer,

You can see that my attempt falls apart in the last half of this section. I'm not so much looking for a translation as an explanation; I really don't understand exactly what the second part of this sentence says. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Collins Universal Dictionary says that it means to "state something."

I apologize because it should be:"Poner de manifiesto: Dar a conocer una opinión o hacer evidente una cosa"
