What is the name of your state? NY

I am unmarried mom and have an 8 wk old that has my last name. Paternity has just been established through the courts. I know the birth certificate will be updated to reflect that, but will the child's last name (or whole name if father wants) be changed? Don't I have to agree on that? Also, should I apply for custody? Nothing has been done other than paternity and support will be getting set up.
