It doesn't change their relationship with the boy one bit, unless they let it (but something tells me that people who are that amazing about putting their attention where it belongs, i.e., their grandchild and not their deadbeat kid, are going to understand this just fine).
My brother and sister-in-law would just have to be adamant about maintaining their connection with the in-laws so that they would never feel shut out.

I'd only change the name if he adopted the son legally.

I'm more interested in the feelings/needs of the child than the feelings of adults.

I personally believe the boy should keep his biological fathers last name no matter what *NM*

Are they changing his name to Clark Kent? If so, I don't think the kid will have a problem. *NM*
