*Several of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s children have stopped using the Pitt surname in recent years. Now, Zahara is taking formal legal steps to do the same.
Court records reviewed by TMZ show that the 21-year-old has asked the Los Angeles Superior Court to change her name to Zahara Marley Jolie. If approved, the change would remove Pitt from her legal name.
In Touch Weekly reported that Zahara filed the request on April 28. She is scheduled to appear before a judge on Sept. 28 to explain why she wants to change her name.
Zahara became part of Jolie’s family in 2005 after the actress adopted her from Ethiopia when she was seven months old. Pitt later adopted her after beginning a relationship with Jolie that same year.

Zahara’s siblings, Shiloh, Maddox and Vivienne, have also stopped using Pitt’s last name. The actor did not attend Zahara’s graduation ceremony at Spelman College last month. A source connected to Pitt attributed his absence to his estrangement from his children.
Separately, InTouch reported that Jolie’s children have pledged financial support to their mother if she ever needs it.
“[They] all have this big drive to take care of her,” an insider told the publication. “They are very much of the all-for-one mentality. They don’t want their mom, or anyone in the family, to ever have financial anxiety.”
The same source said Jolie remains financially comfortable and does not currently require help from her children.
“Angelina doesn’t need to ask them for a dime right now. She’s still got plenty,” the insider added. “But the sweet thing is they’ve all pledged whatever they make to the family.”
