          Right, but the $50k figure mentioned is a yearly salary, not a monthly income. If you paid $4,500 a month on a $50,000 salary, you would pay $54,000 in child support per year, which is more than your total income.

            It’s definitely odd to swap timescales, though. Almost like he was baiting people to be wrong.
