No and if you go to court on this issue the trend is for the court to give the kids a hyphenated name.

The name of the child would not matter only the DNA.

No the name has no bearing on child support.

Child support will not depend on the children's last name, but placing the father on the birth certificate will be helpful in establishing paternity, if necessary.

No, it is not necessary. However, if you prove paternity, the birth certificate should have his name as the father.
