Legal Question in Family Law in Washington

Hold Harmless Agreement

My ex-spouse defaulted on debts that were awarded to them in the divorce, I paid the bills and sued my ex as we had a hold harmless agreement in our divorce decree. At the time my attorney filed, he only asked for $1000 in attorneys fees which the judge gave me but by the time all was said and done, my attorney fees were actually $2000. Can I sue for the additional $1000 in small claims court since it was part of my actual damages?
