Zahara Jolie, the 21-year-old daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, has taken another legal step to remove her father's surname.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Zahara published a notice of her name change petition in the Los Angeles Daily Journal for four consecutive weeks, fulfilling a California requirement.

Zahara filed her petition in June, seeking to change her legal name from Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt to Zahara Marley Jolie.
A source close to Brad Pitt told TMZ they believe Angelina has caused the rift between Brad and the children, calling it a "sad and never-ending campaign to alienate children from their father."
Zahara has not been using Pitt publicly for some time.
