Credit when it's due

I've done a lot of complaining about child support on here, so I wanted to give some credit now that I am FINALLY get some payments. Here is what I've gotten lately. The orange ones are the recent ones. The blue ones are old ones (notice the gap).

As you can see, he has a long ways to go, but he's actually making payments again. We'll see how long it lasts. Anything he pays in the summer is awesome for me, because that's when I only have one paycheck coming in.

Whenever he starts paying, I have a great fear that he'll think he needs to see her. It's been almost three years since he's had any contact with her at all (except for one box of Christmas/Birthday presents). It's not that I don't want her to know who her dad is, but at age four, I think it would be really confusing for her. During the last three years, he's lived 20-25 miles away and has chosen not to have contact. She's had many questions for ME, and I've been the one to have to deal with that. She's finally gotten to a point where she's accepted this situation and moved on. I think this would be a terrible time in her life for him to drop in on her.
