You need to bring that up to the trustee and judge.  The court ordered garnishment is done to ensure payment.  Relying on you is not necessarily a court's job. So the likelihood it will be granted? Not so much.

Consult with your bankruptcy lawyer.  If you don't have one, you should have one now.   Try www.attorneypages.com and check his or her record at the Ohio State Bar.
