Overview
- Court records show Vivienne published the legally required notice in the Los Angeles Daily Journal once a week from July 24 to August 14 and has a hearing set for November 2, 2026.
- She filed her petition in Los Angeles County Superior Court on July 21, days after turning 18, requesting to change her name from Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie for personal reasons.
- Vivienne is the latest of several Jolie‑Pitt children to take legal steps: Shiloh’s 2024 petition was granted and Maddox and Zahara filed name-change petitions in 2026.
- Under California law a name-change petitioner must publish notice for four weeks and any interested person may file a written objection at least two court days before the hearing and must appear in court.
- Neither Angelina Jolie nor Brad Pitt have publicly commented on the filings, and an unnamed source close to Pitt has privately blamed 'alienation' for the trend, a claim reported without substantiation.
