Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I filed for divorce and paid my attorney. The last item in the "Original petition for divorce contains, "It was necessary for Petitioner to secure the services of ______, a licensed attorney, to prepare and prosecute this suit. To effect an equitable division of the estate of the parties and as a part of the division, judgment for attorney�s fees, expenses, and costs through trial and appeal should be granted against Respondent and in favor of Petitioner for the use and benefit of Petitioner�s attorney; or, in the alternative, Petitioner requests that reasonable attorney�s fees, expenses, and costs through trial and appeal be taxed as costs and be ordered paid directly to Petitioner�s attorney, who may enforce the order in the attorney�s own name. Petitioner requests post-judgment interest as allowed by law." He gave me a discount, as a disabled veteran, Is my lawyer trying to get my wife to pay the rest of his fees? This is the only issue keeping my wife from agreeing completely.
