Facing foreclosure in New Jersey: process, mediation and timelines
New Jersey is a judicial foreclosure state, so a lender has to go through the Superior Court to take a home. Before filing, the lender must send a Notice of Intention to Foreclose at least 30 days in advance, and homeowners who live in a one to four family home can ask for free court mediation within 60 days of being served.

Chapter 7 vs Chapter 13 bankruptcy in New Jersey
Chapter 7 wipes out many debts in a few months but may require giving up property that is not protected, and you must pass a means test if your income is above the New Jersey median. Chapter 13 lets people with regular income keep their property and catch up on debts, like mortgage arrears, through a three to five year payment plan. Both are filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey, and both trigger an automatic stay that stops most collection.

First DWI in New Jersey: penalties, interlock and what happens next

Since the 2019 law took effect, most first offenders install an ignition interlock device instead of facing a long license suspension. Refusing a breath test carries similar penalties.
