Bankruptcy
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 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.
