It's 14 regular days, not Business days. Even though the 14th day is on a Sunday, some Bankruptcy Courts will dismiss your case if the paperwork is not filed by the 14th day. Most courts are using electronic filing, and many attorneys file forms on Sundays.

The 14 day period refers to regular day. You do not count the day that you filed. If the last day is on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, then the time period is extended to the next day the court is open.

It is "regular" days. If the last day falls on Saturday or Sunday, you have until Monday to file.

You appear to have until Monday. You need to get an attorney for the bankruptcy.

You filed on a Monday. You do not count the day you filed. So, your deadline is also on a Monday, two weeks later. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure define how days are counted for all the deadlines contained in the court rules.

The 14 days are regular calendar days, but if it is a Sunday, you should have till the Monday. Also, if NJ, then you may be able to get an extension due to the storm.
