You can file bankruptcy in Colorado if it is where you work and live currently. You will still receive all the benefits of bankruptcy and it will apply to all of your property, including the house in Maryland. Bankruptcy will stop foreclosure proceedings, giving you time to pursue other options with your mortgage lender. You will likely be required to use the property exemptions from Maryland.
