If we legally change the child's surname does the father still have to pay child support?

No - the child's name is irrelevant to this.
But, he has the right to sue to change it back.
If the name was changed legally, then the biological father would have had to have given up his rights so that the child could be adopted by the stepparent. Depending on the state, county, etc,..... he may not have to pay.

What happens if plaintiff doesn't show to child support hearing?
the judge has the right to assign your obligation amount in absentia (without you) if there is enough proof that you were served and properly notified of the hearing in some cases the judge can withdraw the child support request for refusual to cooperate. if you filed for child support you need to be at that hearing to protect your childs best interests. if you cannot attend you need to notify the court and request that they change the date. if you are represented by DCS, CPS, or a child support agency they can get the order without your presence because they represent you legally on your behalf... just remember it is never good to allow a judge the authority to make decisions that will affect you and your childs life without your input!
