In the UK we have a thing called deed poll whereby anyone can change their name, or their childs, without it having any effect on paternity, and it is cheap and quite easy to do. I would assume the man in question would know if he took on those children in any legal capacity, rather than just changing their name! I could change my kids surnames to Beckham, but they wouldnt be entitled to any of posh and becks fortunes!
