Law Offices of Michael J. Berger | Michael J. Berger
You are free to move anywhere that you like after you file bankruptcy. You will need to appear for a meeting of creditors in the state that you filed bankruptcy, and said meeting could be continued one or more times, but you could always come back to California for this hearing if you have moved out of state.

Ellahie & Farooqui LLP | Javed Ellahie
Of course you can but you do have to make an appearance at what is referred to as a 341 meeting (or a meeting of creditors), where you are examined by the bankruptcy trustee, there may be other appearances that your attorney should generally be able to handle without you. You may also be able to appear at of close to your new location if you work this out with the US Trustee before hand. Again something your attorney should be able to advise you on.
