Based on the brief dated xxx (...),
petitioner's counsel (or possibly "petitioner's representative") submits herewith a petition for divorce.
That's how I'd phrase it. Maybe one of our "legal eagles" will have a more elegant solution.
However, in at least in US legalese, the Antragsteller/in in a divorce case is a petitioner, not a claimant.
Spouse who starts the divorce = Petitioner or Plaintiff
Document filed = Petition or Complaint
The other spouse = Respondent or Defendant
Document filed (if any) = Response or Answer
Orders for divorce and terms = Judgment or Decree

That reference above should have read
From: Divorce Roadmap (and I KNOW I typed that in...; there must be a gremlin around here somewhere)
I also added that you might want to check out that particular site (i.e. \"divorce roadmap\") as it might be useful.

My version
This is how I would handle it - as a non-legal translator:
The brief containing the motion dated xxx represents the counsel for the claimant's petition for divorce.

I was trying to say the brief represents the counsel's petition, but the wording is poor.
