I would be very surprised if a car dealer refused to make a key for someone with the same last name and address of the owner.
I suspect things have changed, but in 1979, I know that locksmiths had books that allowed them to cut keys based on a VIN.
how does the dealer know who owns the car?
if they make a key to car for a person that does not own the car, they place themselves in a bit of a liability situation should the situation not be what was explained to them.

Thanks Steve. Is it against the law for me to take my wife's Keys and make copies. We live in the same house, have not filed for divorce, no domestic violence or anything like that. She just will not let me use the car
well, it's her car and she doesn't have to let you use her car.
So, is it against the law to take her key (notice; HER key). YES IT IS. If she not only did not give you permission but has actually forbid you from driving her car, you would be guilty of theft. Not that I believe it would ever get prosecuted but it could be considered theft, short of the old community property argument and all but...
Oh, look at that. Georgia is not a community property state so even that argument is out.
just leave her car alone.
Is this so you can take her car when you file for divorce or take it as leverage so she won't file for divorce? If so, not a smart move. You will lose.
