Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

I am divorced and paying child support. I make every payment in full and on time. My ex now wants to garnish my wages instead. I am against this as I feel this makes me look like a deadbeat dad. So I have a few questions. Does a wage garnishment for child support require a court order? would I be notified so that I can dispute in court? finally, do I have the right to say no to wage garnishment since I am paying on time. That is, would a court see this favorably on my behalf since I have abided by the agreement in its entirety.
