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 for your household size. As of 2024, the median income for a single person in New Jersey is about $79,000, but this amount changes periodically. If your income is above the median, you may still qualify after deducting certain expenses.
What property can I keep if I file for bankruptcy in New Jersey?
New Jersey allows you to use either the state exemptions or the federal bankruptcy exemptions, but not both. State exemptions include up to $1,000 in equity for a vehicle and a homestead exemption of up to $100,000 for real property. A Somerville lawyer can help you choose the exemption set that best protects your assets.
How long does a Chapter 13 repayment plan last in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, a Chapter 13 plan typically lasts three to five years, depending on your income level. If your income is below the state median, you can propose a three-year plan. If your income is above the median, you must propose a five-year plan to repay creditors.
