Process for filing a Chapter 7 exemption pro se.

The Clerk's office can likely help you with that. I don't see anywhere on the fees that charge a fee for change of an amendment, but, again, the Clerk's office can help you. Just make sure you are very nice to them and you start with "Good afternoon/day, I'm a pro se debtor and I need to ask a procedural question related to amending my exemptions."

Does anyone have any insight on this? I may have to do my exemption pro se.

I don't think this will be complicated to do this on my own, as my current attorney and me have a disagreement on the exemption.
