Unfortunately if you have an actual court order (or even an settlement agreement that was then incorporated into a court order - i.e. signed off by the judge), then those are the terms that govern. If the parties agreed to something else outside of that, that's only good for as long as neither party then tries to enforce the underlying order later, especially if the subsequent out of court agreement was only verbal. The evidence of the diligent payments to her all along are certainly better than cash, but that only proves you paid less than what the original order was for, not that you were allowed to under pay or that she agreed. But if you have any emails, text, and other helpful evidence, that would certainly be helpful if you find yourself back in court because she now wants to enforce the original order.
