I'm kind of hoping not. They should contact him with a legal order for full back child support, and offer to "let him off the hook" if he signs away his rights. Bribe him. It will be a much better situation for the child and for your brother.
That's a good way to handle it.
They could terminate his parental rights for non payment. Or get back child support. If his rights are terminated, your brother can adopt at any time.

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*
