Even though they are responsible for checking that all the documentation is in order, the airlines will rarely question you when leaving the US. In the dozen or so times I've traveled to the DR with my daughter (she has a different last name than me), only once did they ask me for proof. (I had a notarized letter from her mother, which they thought would be okay, and let me board).
Coming from the DR, they seem to question us about half the times. When they do questions us, I play dumb (no big stretch) and after some haggling they've always let us board the plane.
