A: Bankruptcy is a Federal Procedure, which only uses state laws regarding rights (i.e. property ownership, etc.). Thus, procedurally speaking, the US Code and Bankruptcy Rules of Procedure are the same in all states. However, local rules may differ, but this is not an issue of a local rule.

I would strongly suggest you meet with an Experenced Bankruptcy Attorney, with Creditor Experence. A NSF Check is FRAUD, if properly handled should not be avoided, and you could force payment.
I am in a finical mess! I am about 25k in debt. Some of this debt is business related with the state. If I file bankruptcy will this debt be removed as well as a past judgement? Will a spouse be affected?
