More details to this question:
My petition was filed with the court for chapter 7. Will my next check not be garnished? (I am located in Michigan). Also, in MI can you request the garnished amount back from the creditor? (when they started garnishing my wages, I had already paid off all my attorney fees. I was just trying to come up with the filing fee which took a while. Since my attorney doesn't do civil cases I couldn't do anything about it. )

The bankruptcy court will send a notice to your creditors and the Court. You should present a notice of filing the bankruptcy to you employer, otherwise they may withhold the garnishment. Judging from you question, which should have been addressed to your bankruptcy counsel, ask your attorney, and if you do not have one, get one.

Talk to your attorney about this. In general, the automatic stay should have prevented the garnishment.
