What are the income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in New Jersey?
New Jersey uses the median income for your household size. If your income is below the median you may qualify for Chapter 7. If it is above you must pass a means test to see if you have enough disposable income to repay debts.
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 uniformly across New Jersey.
Can I keep my house in South Orange Village if I file for bankruptcy?
