Can a wife be added as co-plaintiff after SCC trial date set?

What is the name of your state? Florida, Seminole county

Question: After a trial date has been set in Seminole County Small Claims court, can I add my wife as a plaintiff with me in the suit?

Reason:

My wife is extremely sick with a Chronic illness and force to remain in bed 90% of every day. For that reason, I left her name off my suit as a plaintiff because of stress and her inability to fully participate. Since Judge Sloop allows parties to participate over the phone, she may be able to be a co-plaintiff. It would definitely improve our case.

Thanks for any help

PS. No offense to you lawyers but if a person represents yourself, large company lawyers sure try to indimitate you with multiple motions and legal language. They even "misquote" the detailed statement of claim that I submitted and use it to send the Judge a motion to dismiss. It seems they don't feel you deserve a trial, like they know the law and there is no reason to present your case to the judge. I'm glad the judge makes the decisions not the lawer, in my case!

Yes

I called the clerk and they said that I could. There is a hearing soon at which I may ask the judge how to add my wife as plainiff.
