Hello: short ans...no they cannot take any of your wife's belongings. As for the vehicle, since it has a lien on it, they can't mess with it either. Having another person as joint owner may also prevent a creditor from messing with the car. Also, under Fla. Statutes, we have the value of $1,000.00 in a vehicle that is exempt from creditors.

If my office can be of any assistance, please give us a call. Tom Rosenblum
