In these difficult times you may need to move out of state in pursuit of employment. If you have already begun filing bankruptcy it is permissible to leave the state. Bankruptcy proceedings will not prohibit you from moving. Usually your case will continue via the normal course.

If you are filing Chapter 11 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the case is typically filed and continued where you live at the time of filing. The federal bankruptcy law is applicable nationally and it continues to control your relationship with your creditors wherever you relocate.

It is not required that your case be moved to a court located in your new state, but there may be a reason for the venue of your case to be transferred. For this reason, it is important to discuss any relocation plans with your bankruptcy attorney first. There may be reasons specific to your case that may make it advisable for you to delay moving. Either way, you should provide your bankruptcy lawyer with a way to contact you.
