Law/Patents - Law (general) / divorce decree
Spanish term or phrase: antecedentes [divorcio]
Es un título de una sección en una sentencia de divorcio venezolana.

Capítulo 1. *Antecedentes**

Aquí se dice cómo se inició el proceso de solicitud de divorcio mediante un escrito de los cónyuges y que dicha solicitud se basa en el artículo 195-A del Código Civil venezolano. Dicen cuando se casaron , que no tuvieron hijos y que firmaron capitulaciones matrimoniales. Indican el domiclio conyugal y que han estado separados por más de cinco años (causal según el artículo 185-A). Después, la abogado entregó los documentos en el tribunal y solicitó que se notificara al fiscal para que le diera el visto bueno a la solicitud (este paso es necesario en Venezuela). Finalmente, se menciona que el fiscal dijo que no tenía objeciones al proceso.

Las otras secciones tienen los siguientes títulos (coloco entre paréntesis cómo los he traducido)

Capítulo 2. De las pruebas (The Evidence)
Capítulo 3. Motivación (Grounds for Ruling)
Capítulo 4. Decisión (Ruling)

¿Cómo se traduciría "antecedentes" en este contexto? Tentativamente, tengo "the Facts", pero no sé si es correcto. ¡Se podría usar "background"?

Sé que el término se ha consultado con anterioridad, pero no veo ninguna consulta realizada dentro del contexto de una sentencia

Muchas gracias por sus sugerencias

prior matters; matters predating the decree


Explanation:
Has the advantage and 'merit' of being original and in the plural.

'Lead-up' doesn't look like a natural choice in a divorce context, but (I have heard and seen) used informally in legal and judicial shop talk.

My only problem with 'background' is overlap with the novel, Anglocentric idea of 'background evidence' in criminal law and that, as some Criminal Law Barristers can't seem to grasp, does not overlap with similar fact evidence.
