Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Florida

My ex-wife was claiming that I owed her approx. $310,000.00 in various issues from our divorce in Indiana. Several years ago I moved to Florida, and recently filed Chapter 13 in Florida. We went to court and the judge ruled the majority of her claim to be "Disallowed" due to insufficient evidence. Once the "disallowed" items were removed, I no longer had a basis for bankruptcy and my claim was Dismissed. Now my ex-wife, is harrassing me for money for her claims that have been ruled "Disallowed by the Order of the Court". Are the "Disallowed" claims Res Judicata in the State of Indiana since they have already been ruled on in Federal Court? Is the Federal Bankructcy Court Ruling a Final Judgement? My bankruptcy attorney says that once it has been decided, it's final. Please clarify.
