Can I keep my car if I file for bankruptcy in Rutherford?
You may keep your car if its equity is fully covered by a New Jersey exemption or if you continue making payments on a car loan. The New Jersey motor vehicle exemption is 2400 dollars for one car. If your car has more equity you might need to use a different exemption or negotiate with the trustee.
