It can get costly to do so. It will require filings that take a lawyer, don't fall for the websites that promise quick and easy filings. Also, from what I have read all cases were where the child regained the mother's last name. To change it to his father's last name without the father's signature on the birth certificate regardless of paternity, will be another legal filling. All of this will of course require the father to appear and take part in the name change with signatures on the filings.
The fact that you and your son share the same last name will be much easier to deal with when it comes to school and and legal signature for him. Give that some thought.
