As far as I know, legal adoption is the only thing that can change a minor child's last name. It will cost in legal fees though if it is contested.
It is the same age your state considers you an adult. If you are still a minor, your parents can complete the name change for you.
A minor cannot represent themselves in any court action. They must be represented by a parent or guardian. The minor would not need to be present unless there are special circumstances and the judge wishes to interview the child. The court would review the petition for name change and issue an order after considering the circumstances. The adult who is representing the child may be required to attend a hearing depending on the reason for the name change and whether the petition is contested.A minor cannot represent themselves in any court action.

If you live in the US and assuming your son is a minor, you go to court and request a name change. And the first thing the court will ask is if you have the consent/permission of the other parent. When the child turns 18 he can change his name to anything he wants without needing parental consent/permission.

Minor children should sign their own tax return. If a child cannot sign his or her return, a parent or guardian can sign the child's name in the space provided at the bottom of the tax return followed by "By (signature), parent (or guardian) for minor child."
Yes, the name change is irrelevant. The exception, would be if the name change was connected to the legal adoption of the minor child.

No. Only biological parents or persons who have legally adopted a minor child are responsible for their financial support. However, if the grandparents's child is a minor and a father, they can be court ordered to pay child support in his name until he is old enough to get a job and pay himself.
Write the name and age of the minor child.
Not if you are receiving SS Death Benefits for the child.
A minor cannot enter into a contract. It is not legal for Minors to "own" property. It could be purchased by someone "In Trust" for the child.
yes. That's ok.
