Spanish term or phrase: Ilustrísimo Sr. Magistrado Juez de Barcelona
En un Certificado de Nacimiento del Registro Civil Central, figura la siguiente inscripción marginal.

"Por sentencia firme de fecha 17 de junio de 1983, dictada por el *****ILUST. SR. MAGISTRADO JUEZ DE BARCELONA***** se acuerda que el inscrito queda bajo la guarda y custodia de su madre [nombre], ejerciendo en exclusiva la patria potestad.

Mis intentos:

- Referring to the final sentence imposed on 17 June 1983 *****in the Court at Barcelona****** is granted custody [...]
- Referring to the final sentence imposed on 17 June 1983 *****pronounced by the Judge at Barcelona****** is granted custody [...]
Pocho
The Hon. (name), Judge of Barcelona Court No. ...
Explanation:
As is customary, I assume that the ***** in your text indicates that it includes the full name of the judge an identifies his court, and I'm suggesting “The Hon.” (The Honorable/Honourable) as a possible way of expressing the “Ilustrísimo Señor” part, although you may not consider this necessary.

In other respects, you might want to review your translation of “sentencia firme”, since this doesn't involve a “final sentence” (which is a criminal procedure term) but rather a “final judgment” or “judgment that has become final” handed down in a family law proceeding. In this context “sentencia” and “sentence” are false cognates. This is explained in more detail here: https://rebeccajowers.com/2017/11/30/false-friends-101-sente...

Hope you find this useful.

If the judge's name/court was omitted, then Wendy's suggestion to change the text around would work.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you, Rebecca. The stars (*****) are just to make it easy to find the word. Well, I thought it would make it easier. There's no Judge's name. I'll check your explanation of sentence. Thank you.
