The proper venue is the state you have lived in for 91 out of the past 180 days, so Florida is where you will file. If there is real estate or other assets in GA, or real estate in FL, that you want to exempt, the applicable exemptions may be complicated. Your FL bankruptcy lawyer should be able to advise you.

Can a person file for bankruptcy from out of state?
Venue lies in the federal bankruptcy court district where the person has lived for the past 6 months, or most of the past six months. Since it is a federal court, it has jurisdiction over all issues from another state. Consult an experienced local bankruptcy lawyer.
Can you file bankruptcy in another state?
no, only in the state you are domiciled or if its a business, in the state where the business is located. More accurately, it can be filed in any state in which you have lived for more than half of the previous 6 months or have significant assets, or where the business has an office or other assets. You cannot file in more than one bankruptcy court.

Is it legal to live in 1 state and file bankruptcy in another state?
When bankruptcy law was revised in 2005, a rule was added saying you must live in a state two years before you can use its exemptions. If you moved (into a house or PO box) less than two years ago and more than 90 days ago, the court will use exemptions from the state where you lived two years before the filing date. Technically, where you lived the longest between -2.5 and -2.0 years ago. If laws of that state say exemptions are for residents only and you are no longer a resident (you can have more than one residence), the court will use federal exemptions, even if your new state says they are not available.

How long do you have to live in a state before you can file bankruptcy in that state?
Yes, Federal Law requires that you live in the state of filing a minimum of 91 days prior to your BK date.You should file bankruptcy in the state that you have spent the greater part of the last 180 days. However, any federal bankruptcy court has the authority to hear bankruptcy cases, since the jurisdiction is federal.It is a good idea to speak to an attorney before you move. If you are in financial trouble but haven't lived in your state for 91 days, don't let that stop you from speaking with an attorney. It may take time to to prepare your documents and get everything in place to file.Source: http://www.bankruptcylawnetwork.com/2007/09/22/how-long-do-you-have-to-live-in-a-state-to-file-bankruptcy-there/
What happens if you move to another state while you filing bankruptcy in another state?
Bankruptcy is a Federal court and Federal law (albeit some, but minor, definitions change from Court to Court). If your new home is in a different federal district, and you can make an argument about how inconvenient, costly, etc. it is and how it isn't a problem to any of the creditors, understanding your not the only one involved, (and they don't object), and how fairness will be obtained either way, you can normally ask for and receive a change in venue.
