Edit: We need to know more info to answer this one. A quick answer though would be this; if she has full custody then yes she can, the fact that you pay child support has nothing to do with it. However, if you have joint custody then it would depend on the state but in most states you both would need to sign the form.

Child support has nothing to do with the child's name. Just because you pay support, the mother is not obligated to give the child your last name. Many people feel that the child will be more comfortable having the same last name as the custodial parent.
Your ex-spouse can only change your child's last name if they have sole custody. If that is not true, then you should talk to a lawyer about getting an injunction.
A child does not have to have the same last name as the biological father to receive child support from that father.
Personally i would keep the child's last name or hyphenate it
Yes, if you're a parent or child you are entitled to your child support as per the court order. Most expire at 18 years of age, but some judgments extend that to after college age, but it's rare. You just have to notify Child Services who handle the judgment of your name change if it's a legal name change.
NO. In most states the father of the child must be present at the time of birth to sign the birth certificate as the father of the child. It could, in reality, be any man who would be willing to take legal responsibility for the unborn child. A child will only automatically get the father's name if the two parents are married. Even if the father pays child support, the mother is not obigated to change the child's last name to that of the father.
Yes, a father can change his child's last name. However, this depends on the custody arrangement, and who has primary custody.
If he is married to the child's mother the decision is theirs to make, but if he is not married to her the mother decides the child's last name.
