In family law cases, once a Plaintiff always a Plaintiff and once a Defendant always Defendant. It does not matter. The Plaintiff is the first to file in Court and the Defendant is the second. As to the substance of your question, if there was a miscalculation due to inaccurate information being provided to the one who calculated the support, you can file a Motion for Rehearing on the issue and provide an Affidavit with your Motion indicating the accurate information. A recalculation can then be made.
Keep in mind that this answer is given based on the scanty information you have provided. My answer may change based on other information. Further, you cannot rely on this answer since you have not retained me as your attorney. To be sure that you have accurate information and direction, you should consult with an attorney. Good luck.
