Possibility my grandson is going to be a father. Possible mother is giving him a really hard time. We want to make sure the baby is his and if so, he will pay child support in order to get visitation rights. She does not want his surname but we do if it is positive that it is his child. How do we move forward?

Your grandson needs to file an action for paternity and request a DNA test be done on the mom himself and the child. If the results come back positive, he can make a motion for visitation rights or joint custody and she will make a motion for him to pay child support. He can also request that the court order that the birth certificate of his child be amended so that the child's surname will be his surname.
