Frequently Asked Questions
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 might need to file Chapter 13 and repay some 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. This is a federal rule, not specific to New Jersey.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Wayne?
New Jersey offers a homestead exemption of up to $100,000 if you use state exemptions. If your home equity is within this limit, you can keep your house in a Chapter 7 case. In Chapter 13, you can catch up on missed payments over time.
