Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

My son was born 10/24/05 and his mom gave him her last name. On 05/17/08, his mom and i got married... but he still has her maiden name. we have been researching how to get his name changed to my last name (and now her last name) with no luck. because he is my son and his mom and i are now married; we don't believe we should have to go through the normal legal process to get his last name changed as someone would if they were changing the last name for other reasons. i am not sure exactly what is needed to change his name. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try contacting the Bureau of Vital Statistics to see if they can do something. Otherwise, you will need to do a formal name change through the courts
