Les doy el contexto y mi traducción, por si me pueden ayudar con el párrafo.

"Vistas las ***actas procesales*** que conforman el presente asunto y DEFINITIVAMENTE FIRME como ha quedado la Resolución dictada por este Tribunal en fecha (dd/mm/aaaa) (...) mediante la cual se declaró CON LUGAR la solicitud de divorcio (...) interpuesta por los ciudadanos XXX y XXX, se DECRETA SU EJECUCIÓN en los términos y condiciones establecidas en la Ley."

procedural records
Explanation:
I concede that ordinarily "actas procesales" means simply records of the court. However, in this case I would not exclude that the author has a literal intent. E.g. many of the non-procedural records may be non-public (confidential), and the use of the term procesales may be with the intent of emphasizing this. After all, the author could have just written "las actas judiciales" (the judicial records) or "los registros de la corte" (the court records; the records of the case).

Court documents


Explanation:
But your translation of the context needs some improving !!-


"Having seen the ***court documents*** which back up the present case and DEFINITIVELY BINDING as the Resolution issued by this Court on date (dd/mm/yyyy) (...) by which the petition for divorce (...) filed by (citizens) XXX and XXX was declared VIABLE, its ENFORCEMENT is GRANTED under the terms and conditions set forth under the Law."

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  AllegroTrans: OK for "court documents" (to which I might add "and pleadings") but your suggested translation is exceptionally clunky and "sniffs" of MT ("the present case"; "declared viable"); Asker is translating into a "foreign" language (unwise?)

record


Explanation:
I would simply refer to them as "the record". I concur with Andrew that the rest of the paragraph needs considerable editing. I would begin with "Having reviewed the record in the matter before the court". Also, what is the target dialect? The U.S.? UK? Another country? This is important, especially since we are dealing with different legal systems.
