First, if you have a lawyer, you need to contact your lawyer.  That is a good reason to have one. 

I am unsure I understand what you are asking.  You employer is taking the money but not sending it to the trustee.  You need to contact the employer about that.  If the truste has filed a Motion to Dismiss, you need to object to the motion.  Some districts allow you to modify your plan to get you current.

You realy need to discuss this with your attorney.  Chapter 13 is a very difficult process and should not be left to a Pro Se debtor.
