For example, if the debt you owe is for the purchase price of a car, you cannot claim an exemption for that car, but you may claim any other exemption on the list. NOTE: These exemptions are not available if the judgment against you is for child support, the payment of an employee's wages (up to one month's earnings) or state or local taxes.
