Legal Question

I recently went to court for a custody/visitation hearing. The father of my son, (we were never married) wanted to change my sons last name to his last name. In court the judge changed my sons name and took out his middle name on his birth certificate. My sons nname is Riley Winter Peck. Now the judge changed it to Riley Peck Derman. How can a judge change my sons name i gave him at birth? and remove his middle name?
