NJ Chapter 13 - Protect Your Home. Reorganize Your Debt

Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows individuals with regular income to reorganize debt through a court-approved repayment plan lasting three to five years.

Upon filing, the automatic stay issued by the federal bankruptcy court typically stops:

• Foreclosure actions
• Wage garnishments
• Repossession efforts
• Collection lawsuits

Chapter 13 provides breathing room while structured payments are made over time.

If you are behind on mortgage payments, Chapter 13 may allow you to:

• Halt foreclosure proceedings
• Spread arrears over a structured repayment period
• Maintain ongoing mortgage payments
• Protect home equity

This option can provide stability while preserving long-term ownership. Eligibility and feasibility are evaluated before filing to ensure plan confirmation.

Chapter 13 is often appropriate for individuals who:

• Have steady income
• Are behind on mortgage payments
• Need time to reorganize secured debt
• Want to protect home equity

Chapter 13 may be appropriate for individuals whose income exceeds Chapter 7 eligibility thresholds. It may also be suitable if you:

• Have significant secured debt
• Need to protect non-exempt assets
• Want to repay debt under structured court supervision
• Require extended time to stabilize financial obligations

Chapter 13 offers structured reorganization under court supervision rather than liquidation.
