I have to disagree that the money is not worth arguing about. Romeo, at present time, keeps less than 1/3 of his income with 1/3 already going to his spouse.
He is a young man that will eventually have a new life, new wife and family and you can't start all that broke from your ex nickel and diming you to death. That is irrelevant though, only Romeo can stop this nickel and diming.
Romeo, what does your W do? Does she have any secondary education? If so why is she not bringing in a more substantial income? Based on her education do you feel she is maximizing her earning power at present time? If she isn't what does your attny suggest you do to decrease your legal obligation to someone who has chosen not to maximize her earning potential as a single person by choice?
I understand CA law is much different than NY law but there must be something your attny can implement to plug the financial drain.
