Is spousal and child support capable of being garnished from wages?

In a temp order, motioned by my wife and approved by a bad commissioner I'm required to pay spousal and child support that exceeds my ability to support my kids as we share custody. Can she have my wages garnished for spousal as well as child support. Or, is garnishing only approved for child support?
FWIW, I am supporting the kids most of the time, so I'm not a deadbeat dad trying to get out of supporting my wife and the kids, just trying to support my kids while the ex abandons the kids on a regular basis
