If you mean that the mother changes the baby's surname, of course.
If you mean that the mother changes her surname to the father's (the same as the baby), of course.
The father can file for this change.
Not sure what a "non biological father" is, but the only thing that could happen is that the (former) payor is excused from paying future support. He cannot recover the support already paid.
No because they already claim you
The parents should return to court to change custody and terminate support. The court may order the mother to pay support and might credit her for the father's arrearage.

no it goes to the mother.
A step father has no legal obligation to support a step child.
The custodial parent can return to court to request a modification of child support if there has been a change in circumstances since the standing order was issued. A change might be a loss of income on her part, a gain in income on the father's part, a medical problem, etc.If there has been no change in circumstances, and the child support payments are being paid regularly, the father should consult with an attorney or family court advocate if the requests for modification are unfounded and are intended to harass.
If the mother doesn't seek a child support order no one will make the father pay. However, keep in mind that the mother can always change her mind and get back child support in the future. If the child and/or mother are receiving any state assistance the father will be required to pay child support.Fathers are responsible for supporting their children. If the mother doesn't need the child support then she should put it in the bank for the child's collegeeducation.
The father has to have the court's consent to cease paying child support.
Absolutely. Child support is designed for the benefit of the child.
No. The mother cannot overrule a judge.
