Bankruptcy is a federal procedure in a federal court. What state you are in is irrelevant except for exemptions. Your 401(k) balance is exempt by federal law, but once you withdraw money from it, that money is no longer exempt, and the trustee will want it to be applied to your plan. If you withdraw it and fail to disclose that to the trustee, you may find your bankruptcy in serious trouble. Don't do it.
