Shiloh Jolie’s attorney on her name change
According to People, Shiloh’s attorney, Peter Levine, advised that the media should be more cautious in their reporting, especially when dealing with a young adult who has made a significant decision following difficult circumstances and is simply following the legal process.
Levine clarified that Shiloh did not publicly announce her name change through an advertisement, and any reports claiming otherwise are inaccurate.
It was revealed that Shiloh’s name change was made public in the Los Angeles Times in accordance with California law requirements.
In June, a source disclosed that Brad Pitt was aware of and upset about the name change. The source mentioned that reminders of the disconnection from his children are challenging for the actor, highlighting the sadness and longing he feels for them.
David Glass on Shiloh’s name change
Recently, legal expert David Glass explained the official name change process for Shiloh, emphasizing the necessity of the public announcement in a newspaper.
Glass detailed the steps required for Shiloh’s name change petition to progress, including notifying both parents in writing and running an advertisement for four weeks before the hearing date.
Levine noted that name change petitions normally proceed smoothly unless there are extenuating circumstances such as attempting to evade legal consequences.
Glass also mentioned that Brad Pitt could contest the name change in court by claiming alienation by Angelina Jolie, but since Shiloh is a legal adult, she has the right to choose her own name.
