For starters - the mother can give them any name she pleases.

I would be more concerned with the parents filing statutory rape charges against your son. In SC "A person is guilty of second degree criminal sexual conduct if the victim is over 14 years old and less than 16 years old and the person has familial, custodial or official authority over the victim or is older than the victim. "

I agree with momma tiger, but also, has paternity been established?

Don't sign anything. If they collect state aid, and your son is the father of these twins, he will be made to pay back the state aid on top of child support.
