Bankruptcy basics are here and can include federal components, as well. There are conflicts of law issues here, too: what state's laws and what federal laws to use. This is why you need a bankruptcy attorney.

In terms of where and what you file, you really do need a lawyer. At least consult with one in your state in which you reside. Try www.attorneypages.com.
