I've just realised that what comes before is your previous question.
alguacil can be bailiff, but it is definitely some kind of court official which is why I have gone with court clerk. It may be that someone out there knows what 'alguacil' means in the DR. Let's wait and see.
DRAE
1. m. y f. Funcionario subalterno de un ayuntamiento o un juzgado.

: Alguacil in Dom Rep is not the court clerk. He is a court bailiff and a process server.

Alguacil = Court bailiff
Alguacil in the Dominican Republic is not the court clerk.
Alguacil is a court bailiff appointed by the court to attend hearings (together with the clerk of the court) and to serve documents upon the parties.
In US he would acts like a sheriff and a process server.
In this case, if the sentence is found in a Dominican divorce decree, the translation would be:
....... prior notice to the other party served by court bailiff, for the mentioned purposes.
Note: I have been working with Dominican and US attorneys for more than 20 years so I am 100% sure of the above!
