Changing child's last name

I would like to know if I can legally change my child's last name without the father's consent. I live in PA and have primary physical custody and full legal custody.

Yes you can if you're the primary and custodial parent you are the main decision maker of the upbringing of the child. My mom did that with me and my father had no say since he's got non custodial status.
