Is there anything that can be done to exclude my promissory note from his filing?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Love and Dillenbeck Law
Unfortunately, this sounds like an unsecured debt. There is nothing you can do to "exclude" the debt from his filing. If there is an allegation of fraud (although in this case it sounds like there isn't), then you can ask the Court to not discharge it. Otherwise, you need to to Contact Legal Aid to see if they can give you advice as to what you need to do after he files.
