Garnishment onnew debt after Ch13 confirmed?

[HDmanCO]

I have a Ch 13 I have been paying for over 2 years. I had a contempt of court judgement against me for failing to pay my full share of medical expenses to ex-wife (not in my BK--she got a Ch 7) for my kids for 2007. We disagreed on who owed whom, judge said I owed another $1250.00, which I paid promptly.

Her atty got awarded $2k in fees which I was also ordered to pay. I have not paid him and wondering if he can just submit a writ of garnishment to my employer, or not?

And, because I am paying on my Ch 13, can this be done legally anyway? I was told my wages could not be touched without the order of the BK court, but not sure this is factual.

Thanks
