Have you been legally declared the father of the child? I assume since he doesn't have your last name, you are not listed on the birth certificate. You can change it either by filing a paternity action to be legally declared his father--if this hasn't been done yet. If you are legally the father, you can file a simple name change.

Too bad you were not responsible enough to give your son your last name when he was born, wether you were together with his mom or not.

Need to go to court for it. No big deal they just want to make sure you both agree on that

God damn right he should have your name. WHAT KIND OF UNIT ARE YOU RUNNING THERE. Get your wife and son with your name and get your house in order

Call your county courthouse and they will tell you what you need to do.
