Goodwin filed the documents in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Thursday. If the petition is granted, she'll be Ginnifer Michelle Goodwin by mid-May. (Could another name change be in her future? Goodwin is currently engaged to actor Joey Kern, so after they marry she could keep her professional name or take his on.)
