I was discussing the current worry with an acquaintance.  It made me feel much better when she reassured me that he can try and try and try to go for custody, but given the circumstances, would only be laughed out of any court.  The fact that he spent the last two years trying to dodge child support, hasn't seen Michelle is 2 yrs and has not spoken to her in almost that same amount of time would be used against him.  They will look at the fact that I had tried to keep him updated on Michelle and that I gave him my address willingly without fight in order for him to be able to communicate with her.  There is also the fact that she is doing well, going to school here, nearly all of her family resides in our state, etc. 

It does make me feel a whole lot better.  While in the back of my head I knew he wouldn't stand a chance getting custody, it was the overall fact that I just did not want to deal with that kind of a headache. 

So, yes, I did do the right thing.  I did what I felt was right.  I am not cutting him out of her life and any court that sees him use this against me would probably give him a fine for wasting their time, LOL.
