Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

Ex Filed Bankruptcy on Child Care Costs

I have a court order that says my ex must pay 1/2 of all day care and medical related costs. He has refused to reimburse me, as required in the order, after being properly notified of those costs. He just filed Bankruptcy with me as creditor for those costs. Is that legal? Can I still collect somehow?
