GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:ha sido parte el ministerio fiscal

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / acta de divorcio
Spanish term or phrase: ha sido parte el ministerio fiscal
Estoy traduciendo un acta de matrimonio española. La traducción es para los Estados Unidos.

"Antecedentes de hecho

Único. El procurador de los tribunales xxx, en nombre y representación de [cónyuge 1] y [cónyuge 2] interpuso demanda de divorcio de mutuo acuerdo. Junto con tal solicitud se aportó propuesta de covenio regulador, que fue ratificado por ambos cónyuges de forma separada a presencia judicial. El matrimonio tiene dos hijos comunes menores de edad. **Ha sido parte el ministerio fiscal**."

¿Cómo dirían esto en inglés? Para ministerio fiscal, hasta ahora he utilizado prosecution service. En España (al igual que en Venezuela) interviene el ministerio fiscal (o ministerio público o fiscalía) en los casos de divorcio.

Muchas gracias

(US) The State Counsel's Office (UK: Queen's Proctor) Treasury Solicitor Off. joined in as a party
Explanation:
Again the Queen's or King's Proctor -now the Solicitor-General in E&W, can - if any 'monkey business' is suspected - step in and stop a decree nisi being made absolute.

Nowt to do with public prosecution but the latter is subsumed thereunder:

'Queen's Proctor (and even His/Her Majesty's Procurator General), when the sitting English monarch is a woman. The office of the Queen's Proctor is now merged within the office of the Treasury Solicitor of the United Kingdom which includes the Director of Public Prosecutions.'

you could also say "Public Prosecutor's Office" but in this sort of context I would prefer a more formal rendering as suggested

disagree  Sandro Tomasi: Public Prosecutor in US deals with criminal cases, not divorce cases.

disagree  patinba: Sorry, but it is obviously a Spanish entity, so there is no point in giving foreign entity approximate equivalents.

  -> My main point - that seems to have been lost on most previous ProZ answers - was the *non-prosecutorial* functions of the UK Queen's (King's) Proctor who can intervene in UK divorce cases. Anyway, feel free to post a more literal rendering!
agree  Robert Carter: State Counsel's Office yes, but Queen's Proctor clearly a no-no and no.//Ah, I see, probably better off putting that in the body of your answer to avoid confusion.

  -> Thanks and gracias. Queen's Proctor bracketed but for most Anglo-Irish translators' info. and Treasury Sol's Office meant only 'to set the non-prosecutorial vs. prosecutorial scene' in a pending divorce.//Right! I in fact have used Proctor-General's Dept.
