I am separated from my wife, soon to be divorced.
Can she change my daughter's surname to her new married surname should she get re-married, without my consent ?

No, just because she remarries does not make her new name become your daughters. The only way she could change your daughter's name, would be if you signed over your rights to her. Even then, her new husband would have to adopt her before her name could be legally changed to her new husband's name. So relax...

no you will need to sign a consent form - but she can give the child whatever name she wants the child to be known as without changing it legally ( ie. in school, doctors lists etc.)

My old neighbor remarried, had her 2 young children's names hyphenated to add the new husbands name, then since the new name was the last name to the right, she slowly stop using her exes name & now the kid's only use the new name.

Well depending on how old the child is. At 7, i believe you can ask the child, but before that they need permission, and even so it still goes to family court.

Not until she is 18 in Florida, I am pretty sure it is the same in other states. I went through this in a REALLY NASTY divorce in 2002. I hope this helps friend.

Yes and No. She can write anything down but when it comes to a legal name it is not. If she wanted to do it legally you would have a say in that she would have to go to court to do that.
