Frequently Asked Questions
What are the income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in New Jersey?
To qualify for Chapter 7 in New Jersey you must pass the means test which compares your income to the state median income for your household size. For a single person the median income is around 70000 dollars as of 2024. If your income is above the median you may still qualify after deducting allowed expenses.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in Hackensack New Jersey?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes 3 to 4 months from filing to discharge. Chapter 13 cases last 3 to 5 years as you complete a repayment plan. The court in Hackensack requires you to complete a credit counseling course before filing and a debtor education course after.
What property can I keep if I file for bankruptcy in New Jersey?
New Jersey uses its own exemption system not the federal exemptions. You can keep up to 23000 dollars of home equity per person and up to 5000 dollars of vehicle equity. Personal property exemptions include household goods and clothing up to certain limits.
