Claim of Exemptions

What is the name of your state?Florida
I need to file a Claim of Exemptions to try and protect my only assets from a lawyer who has a judgment against me and my wife. Can we each file a claim or do we have to do it jointly? We do not have much. I want to claim Head of Household and the assets I want to claim are about $400 in tools and a truck which belongs to my son but is titled in my name worth about $500. I think I'm entitled to claim $1000 in personal property. Is that right? If my wife can claim an exemption also will she be able to claim another $1000? The only thing she would claim will be about $400 in furniture. Also do we have to wait for a writ to be issued before we file or can we do it beforehand?

Who is the judgment issued against ??? If its just you, then only YOU can file the exemptions, the joint marital property is only technically 1/2 yours.
