Then you need to be in court. Do you have shared custody? You should. Especially if you are a resposible Father paying THAT kind of CS. When I was raising my 3 children. Their Dad only had to pay three hundred a month (100,000 per year). My Mother moved in with me so I wouldn't have to send them to daycare. He still wouldn't pay. Finally aces came into effect. My girls were already grown, but all that back child support paid for my Son's college. He is now going for a PHD. Pyschology with specialization in Abnormal behavour in Children.

You're joking, right?

It's good you're getting educated. But no -- going to court won't help. CS is arbitrarily high because that increases the amount of federal funding states receive. Shared custody would result in a reduction in the CS order (along with more time between children and their fathers). It would reduce the cost of the child support program -- i.e. funding states receive -- therefore it ain't happenin'

BTW: I've been living in Sweden for more than 10 years. All of Scandinavia is a presumptive joint custody zone. Not even the objections of one parent stops the law from maintaining shared parenting arrangements.
