MenuIt is not uncommon for people to consider bankruptcy after moving into a new state. The move is often a period of starting over, with a new job, new home, and more. Getting relief from past debts might enable getting a clean break from old financial circumstances and start building a new financial life.
Venue
In bankruptcy, venue refers to the particular federal judicial district or districts where it is proper for a bankruptcy case to heard. Federal statute (28 USC 1408) sets proper venue based on residence, domicile, principal place of business or place of principal assets in the 180 prior to the case being filed.
