Do you have to stay in the state you filed BK until discharge?

Say I were to file BK here and attended the 341 meeting, how soon after that could I move? Do I have to reside in the state until the discharge?

[Richard Kaufman]

No. BK is federal.

You can move the day after you FILE BK if you want to. You moving does not affect anything, but you need to file a change of address with the court.

I'm confused. I don't understand how that can work or be ok.

So I(or we) file BK here and all of my paperwork reflects husbands current job, rent, and expenses in our current house and state.

Then I move, husband has a higher paying job, we have higher rent, different expenses...
How does all that impact the bk that was filed in the old state? We would still be under the median in the new state and within all the allowable living expenses for the new state too.

Does it not matter at all if you do all of that before a discharge?

Assuming you did move out of state before your 341 meeting, the change of address with the court would just redirect the meeting to be scheduled in the new state?
