It appears you may have used the child support calculator incorrectly, and also not used a "tax-adjusted" means to calculate spousal support. Any competent experienced family law attorney in California will have up-to-date support calculation software, and will know how to use it.

Talk to an experienced attorney, even if only for a serious (paid) consultation. In Los Angeles, there's a bunch.
