Hello,
For AOS, you will be required to fill out G-325A forms for your wife and her son in quadruplicate. For Family name you write her new name.
You will file an application for Adjustment of Status for the child as well. Prepare the application the same way (as a separate pile of paper), but mail them together. Also send a separate I-765 application for work authorization if the child is old enough to seek employment. You will pay fees for each application.
You will require the following docs:
1.Payment
2.Copy of US Citizens Passport
3.I-485 Application To Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status
Copy of non-US Citizens Spouses Visa from passport
4.If the non-US Citizen Spouse is is a K3 Visa holder include a copy of the I-130 NOA2.
5.If the non-US Citizen Spouse is is a K1 Visa holder a copy of the I-129F NOA2.
6.A copy of form I-94, Nonimmigrant Arrival Departure Record (this was put in your passport when you arrived)
7.Copy of the non-US Citizen Spouses passport (translated if required)
8.A certified copy of your marriage certificate (translated if required)
9.If applicable, a copy of the US Citizens and/or non-US Citizen Spouses divorce documents
10.If applicable, a copy of a prior spouse's death certificate.

15.I-765 Application for Employment Authorization. You will apply as category (c)(9), "adjustment applicant". (optional, but you cannot work without this)
16.I-131 Application For Travel Document (this is optional but is for traveling outside the US during the application period, known as "advance parole")
17.A copy of your birth certificate. (bring an extra when you move, or two or three if you can). You need a translated copy if it is not in English.
