Head of Household Exemption in Florida

**ARGblue** · 03-20-2009, 06:39 PM

My question involves judgment recovery in the State of: FL

I defaulted on a settlement do to money reasons.
I am a single woman who has no children. I do have an adult male(not my husband) living with me, but he does not pay rent or bills. Can I clam Head of Household for the FL garnishment exemption?
Thank you for your help

Unmarried debtors in Florida who do not support minor children or a spouse are not exempt from wage garnishment.

Thank you Betty for finding out the information for me. I was not sure. The bad part is I am the only one who takes care of my rent, food, gas and the whole nine yards. I am sure they won't work with me further on this matter, but what can you do, but try and keep a roof over your head and food in your mouth.
