Understandable sentence?

Considering above mentioned and plaintiff’s petition, plaintiff shall be granted the use of surname acquired in marriage “Dawson”.

Meaning: the plaintiff will be allowed to use surname acquired in marriage also after the divorce. Is this sentence understandable?

Thanks!

OK, then what does 'the above mentioned' refer to? It seems to refer to a petition.
