What is the means test for bankruptcy in New Jersey?
The means test compares your income to the median income for a New Jersey household of your size. If your income is below the median, you may qualify for Chapter 7. If it is above, you may need to file Chapter 13. A lawyer can calculate this for you.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in New Jersey?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. These time limits are set by federal law and apply in New Jersey.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Cranbury New Jersey?
New Jersey allows you to use either state or federal exemptions to protect your home equity. The state homestead exemption is up to $100,000 for a single person or married couple. If your equity is within this limit, you may keep your house.
