Spousal maintenance . How do I know if I have already paid it?

I have a judicial decision to pay spousal maintenance $1382 per month and arrears $500 per month The award of interim maintenance is retroactive to November 9, 2022, beginning on April 1, 2023. I have already paid from April 1, 2023 to August 1 , 1382+ 500=1882 x5=$ 9410, does that mean that I have already paid the spousal maintenance $6910, and the rest in arrears $ $2500 and should I continue paying until the amount is satisfied? Is this recoverable in the financial trial? Thank you.

What is the law divorcing an undocumented immigrant ?

I was married to an undocumented immigrant for 18 years, he never proceeded to get his legal status. We separated 8 years ago. There is no legal separation document but I did take him to family court for child support. One of our daughters is finished with college and one daughter still attending. My ex is refusing to help pay for college, claiming that that is what the child support was supposed to cover, which was never discussed in court. The girls were 13 and 16 at this time. Proceeding with a divorce I feel he should not get half of my 401k savings that he never contributed to. Is this something I can ask?
