Can a civil court change the status of plaintiff to be the defendant?
No. Whoever files first is the Plaintiff. If the Defendant then chooses to "cross-sue", the Defendant will still be the defendant on the pleadings even though by virtue thereof, the defendant has launched what is called a counter-claim. In such a scenario, the Defendant will have to defend the Plaintiff's claim, and progress the counter-claim ---- in the same way the plaintiff will need to progress its claim as Plaintiff (and yes, in the same way, the Plaintiff will have to defend the counter-claim launched by the Defendant). By way of additional info, note that the "whoever files first" rule is generally applied to "fix" jurisdiction too. Although the general rule is that the Defendant should be sued in its own jurisdiction, rules modify this basic approach, most often by way of the applicable treaty (e.g. by "special jurisdiction" and "exclusive jurisdiction") and thus by such rules, often the plaintiff is able to sue in its own jurisdiction. Therefore if both potential parties believe they have a claim against the other, where the rules allow for the jurisdiction to be in the plaintiff's own, then it works on a "first come first served basis.

The penalty is whatever monetary sum the courts award the plaintiff as this falls under civil code not criminal. In other words, if someone charges you with a crime and you are found not guilty, then you can file a civil complaint.

No chance they will go to jail as this is a civil matter.

How do you sue a parent for credit card fraud?
An adult child can sue their parent(s) in the same method as would be used in any civil matter. File the suit in the appropriate state court in the county where the defendant's reside. The state establishes the rules of civil procedure that being the case the procedure differs somewhat from state to state. Contact the office of the clerk of the court where you choose to bring the suit for specific information or seek advice from a qualified attorney licensed to practice in the state where the suit is being brought. The plaintiff would be suing for the recovery of a financial loss, not credit card fraud, that is a criminal matter.

you can counter sue for anything. In Civil court, you don't need proof beyond a reasonable doubt, just a perponderance of the evidence. Pretty much, just prove you're right, if the Judge, or in your case a trial by a jury of your peers would be best, believe you they will move in your favor.
