Under 1128 U.S.C. 1408, you should be domiciled in the state where you wish to file. Normally, this means you should reside in Florda for at least 180 days before you file for bankruptcy. However, there are exceptions, some of which are discussed in Section 1410.
Therefore, you should likely contact a bankruptcy attorney, discuss your situation, and determine whether you qualify under an applicable exception. Most bankruptcy attorneys offer free consultations. I hope you obtain answers soon, and I wish you the best of luck!
