Spanish term or phrase: presenta constancia de divorcio vincular otorgado
Necesito traducir la siguiente frase que me esta creando unos "problemitos":
(Desde el Registro del Estado Civil De Buenos Aires):

El contrayente cuyo matrimonio anterior se celebró en Lisboa, Portugal
** presenta constancia de divorcio vincular otorgado ** por el juzgado No. 82 ,

Gracias a todos.
Ciao,

Explanation:
Please, forget about the "vincular" part. This has to do do with Argentine law; "divorcio vincular" actually means "divorcio con disolución de vínculo", that is, you recover what is called "habilidad nupcial"; you are able, in the legal sense, of getting married again.
There is little "binding" in a divorce, it's actually the other way round, isn't it?? :-))

And if you wonder why the distinction, it's because many years ago in Argentina there was no "full" divorce; you got a divorce but couldn't get married again. It aimed at solving the problem of common assets.

HTH, regards,

Patricia

neutral  Russell Gillis: This is singular (compareciente), so it would be "shows proof..." and it should end "a binding divorce granted by". You need to end it this way, since it is followed by "court No. 82".

neutral  Russell Gillis: I think you need to add in "binding" before divorce, to capture the meaning of "vincular".
