You need to go to the Court hearing to tell the Judge your objection.

In my experience, based on the information provided, she will have a difficult time. You may want to hire counsel.

She's just yanking your chain. If you have no felonies, pay child support, and involve yourself in the child's life, and your surname was given to him at birth, I don't see how can win, unless there is some other big, hairy factor I am not aware of. Get in there and defend yourself, and the boy's name should remain unchanged.
