Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

Babys surname changed

My grandson was born on December 19, 2007. My son and daughter in law were not living together when he was born. My son saw him for 1/2 hour the day he was born and my daughter in law refused to let anyone see the baby including my son. She also gave the baby her maiden name even though she goes by her married name. However, she named my son as the father. The baby was conceived in the marriage and to date they are still married and he has filed for divorce. He does pay child support (the court required a DNA Test) and has shared custody. My son wants the baby to carry his surname. Is there any problems in having the baby's name changed?

Re: Baby's surname changed

Yes, the child's mother.

Assuming your son hired an attorney to do his divorce he should be pressing that attorney to file for a custody order.
