Overview
- The siblings published name‑change notices in the Los Angeles Daily Journal from mid‑June through early July to meet a California legal requirement for such petitions.
- Those public notices start a process that leads to uncontested hearings in September where a judge can approve the requested changes.
- This follows sister Shiloh’s 2024 petition to remove 'Pitt', and several siblings already use 'Jolie' in public and at school and work events.
- If judges grant the petitions, Maddox would become Maddox Chivan Jolie and Zahara would become Zahara Marley Jolie, which would formalize a broader break between several children and their father.
- The name filings come as Angelina Jolie has listed her Los Feliz home and her youngest children turned 18, a shift that makes her long‑stated plan to move to Cambodia more practicable and could affect where the family lives.
