Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in New Jersey?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy wipes out most unsecured debts but requires you to pass a means test based on New Jersey median income. Chapter 13 bankruptcy lets you create a 3 to 5 year repayment plan to catch up on secured debts like a mortgage. A Moorestown lawyer can explain which option fits your financial situation.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in New Jersey?
A Chapter 7 case in New Jersey typically takes 3 to 4 months from filing to discharge. A Chapter 13 repayment plan lasts 3 to 5 years. You must complete a credit counseling course before filing and a debtor education course after filing.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Moorestown New Jersey?
New Jersey offers a homestead exemption of up to $27,900 for your primary residence. If your home equity is below this amount you may keep your house in a Chapter 7 case. In Chapter 13 you can keep your home by catching up on missed mortgage payments through your repayment plan.
