If your son is paying child support, then he may be able to get the last name changed to his. THis should be done in the same order that establishes his child support. He can also seek custody and if win, get the name changed. Call me if I can help.

Your son needs to establish paternity.

The way to do that is to file a suit affecting the parent child relationship.

He will acknowledge that he is the father, be ordered to pay child support and get visitation.

If you live in the Houston area, and need an attorney please call me at 713-847-6000. Best of luck.
