Law/Patents - Law (general) / Divorce Decree judgement
Romanian term or phrase: mamei reclamante
This is a term that is frequently appearing in the details of this divorce decree, concerning the care of the petitioner's minor. I have assumed it refers to the "mother of the petitioner/claimaint", but am I correct in this translation? I am unsure anyway, and now this extra phrase at the end of this sentence adds the maternal grandmother as an extra assistant in the child's care.

Din convietuirea partilor, la data de 07.06.2009 s-a nascut minora Antonia Raya Diallo care in present se afla in ingrijirea si intretinerea mamei reclamante, ajutata si de bunica materna.

So, how is the situation here?

applicant mother/petitioning mother
Explanation:
To answer your first question, no, it doesn't mean the petitioner's mother. The clue is in the ending of reclamante. If the intended meaning was "mother of the petitioner", it would say mamei reclamantei, and reclamantei is a noun.

Instead, reclamante has the ending -e, like an adjective, so this word describes the mother, who IS the applicant/petitioner. And as you say, at the end, your sentence mentions that help is also being given by the maternal grandmother, who is a different person from mamei reclamante, so this is further proof that mamei reclamante does not mean "petitioner's mother". What it means is "the applicant/petitioner (who is the) mother".

Examples:

Mr Justice Keehan:
1. In this matter, I am concerned with one child, 'C', who was born on 2nd December 2014. She is the daughter of the applicant mother, 'A' and the respondent father, 'B'.

Jurisdiction in divorce, nullity and legal separation is governed by article 3 of the
Regulation (...) A court in England and Wales would have jurisdiction if the petitioning mother were living with the children in the USA and the respondent father were living in this country.

Beverley Morris, head of Lodders’ Family team, acted for the applicant mother in one of the key reported cases that has shaped this area of law – MT v OT (financial provision: costs)[2008] 2 FLR 1311 , MT V OT [2018] EWHC 868 (Fam).
