Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s Hearing to Drop ‘Pitt’ from Last Name Postponed Due to 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.

“The Los Angeles Superior Court did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.“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.”
