Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s name change hearing has been postponed.
May on her 18th birthday, will have to wait a little longer to change her name after a court delayed her hearing due to an incomplete background check.
“Unfortunately, the court was unable to complete the background check ahead of today’s hearing, so the hearing was rescheduled for August 19,” Jolie-Pitt’s lawyer Peter Levine said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.
“Everyone undergoing a name-change request needs to have a background check conducted by the court clerk, and because of clerical error, Shiloh’s hearing has been continued to a new date.” “He’s aware and upset that Shiloh dropped his last name,” said the source. “The reminders that he’s lost his children, is of course not easy for Brad. He loves his children and misses them. It’s very sad.
” before a judge can approve a petition to change one’s name, they must have the legal forms published in a newspaper for one month. Once published, the request will then show up in the legal notice section of the paper. “He’s aware and upset that Shiloh dropped his last name,” said the source. “The reminders that he’s lost his children, is of course not easy for Brad. He loves his children and misses them. It’s very sad.”
