How bankruptcy works in New Jersey
Bankruptcy lawyers help individuals and businesses deal with debt they cannot pay. For people, the usual options are Chapter 7, which wipes out many debts, and Chapter 13, a court-supervised payment plan that can save a home from foreclosure.
Bankruptcy cases are filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey, with courthouses in Newark, Trenton and Camden. Businesses may restructure under Chapter 11.
Questions to ask a lawyer
- Should I file Chapter 7 or Chapter 13?
- Which of my debts will not be discharged?
- Can bankruptcy stop my foreclosure sale?
