Legal Question in Family Law in Oklahoma

legal fees

Attorney fees were awarded to my husband to pay and the two attorneys were told to work out the fees and if they could not, then to see him back in court. They could not agree so my attorney submitted a bill and the judge allowed a certain part of it. Can the my attorney ethically turn around and charge me for the remainder?
