Her husband own his own busniess my question is: Is it legal for her just to change my child last name? and Should I be paying child support if she changed her name and her husband got his own business and probably adopt her?

You need to check with an attorney in the state where your custody order was rendered and your support set. In Louisiana the name should not have been changed without your consent unless she claimed you were unknown or one of the non-consent requirements was claimed. You should be paying support no matter what the child's name is, however, if the step-father adopts your child, then you lose all rights and do not have to pay support.
