Legal Question in Family Law in California

I just recently found out that my daughter's mother has been given 1 full credit hardship for her son (not mine), in our child support case. My understanding is that she should have only ever received half a hardship. (for the first time, i was provided a print out from the court's dissomaster)

This credit has been applied for 3 modifications we have been to in the 7 years amount of time of the child support order beginning.

i have spoken up in court, but because i have never had a lawyer and am not the mother, the judge won't hear anything i have to say and shuts me up every time.

i am not behind in any way in payments and never have been.

what forms (specifically) or steps do i need to take to get this overpayment credited to the current order?

please give specifics, as i will have to go about this myself, i cannot afford a lawyer, and just want the court to be fair in allowing hardships, in my county it has been proven to me that unless you are the female involved (instead of the father), you have no voice in court.

im in imperial county, california:)

thanks for your help!
