If there is a written agreement, there could be terms that allow your son to terminate the contract . You need to consult an attorney who is familiar with contract law to determine this. Otherwise there may be other grounds that allow the contract to be terminated, such as fraud, fraud in the inducement or breach of the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing. The lawyer should be able to advise you if he can record and use his name except under the contract.
