14 articles from Simon Law Group
Bankruptcy under federal law gives New Jersey individuals and businesses tools -- most commonly Chapter 7 liquidation and Chapter 13 repayment plans -- to address overwhelming debt, subject to the means test and New Jersey exemption choices. These articles explain how the automatic stay works, what debts may be discharged, and how filing affects homes, cars, and credit.
