Unless something very unusual is going on, there should not be any restrictions on your travel or moving within the United States.

You must be a resident for 180 days prior to filing. After filing, I would stay in town until after the 341 Meeting, then notify your attorney or the court of your new address.

Filing bankruptcy does not prevent you from moving to another state, but you will continue to have to appear at any required appearances at the courthouse where your case was filed.

Assuming nothing unusual about your case, you are free to move. You do have to attend the creditors' meeting.

Yes, after you file bankruptcy you can live anywhere you want to live.
