You can file for bankruptcy in Florida but preferably after 180 days of living there but Illinois exemption law will still apply to your bankruptcy case.

If you consider yourself a resident of Florida now, if you have been in Florida for more than 91 days, you should file in Florida. If you still maintain a home in Illinois and consider yourself a resident in Illinois, then you should file bankruptcy in Illinois. Either way, unless you have been a resident of Florida for more than two years, you must use the Illinois exemptions for your bankruptcy The qualifications to be eligible to file bankruptcy require a complete analysis of your finances covering the past 6 months.

The threshold for filing bankruptcy is fairly low. The question really becomes the type of bankruptcy. Visit with an attorney in your jurisdiction. One or more of the debts you list may not be dischargeable.
