Divorce Support Forums: how is this possible

this is my first posting on this site. how is it possible that the court settled my divorce requiring me to pay more in child support than i make. i started a new company 1yr ago and like new companies this one isn't turning a profit yet. for the last 10 years i made a low 6 figure income, yet what my support amounts were based on was 6 1/2 times the most i'd ever made. i have provided everyone with my last 4 yrs worth of w2's and the payroll i have taken this year. another mistake i'd made in the middle of this is i paid her the child support through banking transfrers not the support agency. because they will not give me any credit for the $40k i have paid to her this year. they now got a court order to liquidate all my account to payback this arrearage. in my situation i am more concerned with the amount of support i should be paying more than getting credit for what i have paid. i've been to my states website and based on a 3 yr average of my income i should be paying about 10x's less than i am now. unfortunately without the ability to access any cash i am having difficulty retaining a lawyer( i wouldn't use the one i had before)
where is the justice in this
