Hi, I'm translating a Uruguayan petition for divorce, in which the standard formatting includes a section titled "DERECHO" (which comes after another called "HECHOS", equivalent to our "RECITALS" section) and I'm not sure what would be the proper way to translate the "DERECHO" heading.

I. Los comparecientes contrajeron matrimonio el [...]
II. Que es nuestro propósito disolver y liquidar [...]

DERECHO

Fundamos nuestro derecho en lo dispuesto por los arts. [...]
