Unless you leave the state, there is absolutely nothing he can do to have you arrested. Even then, unless you are in violation of a court order or a custody agreement, there would be nothing illegal about leaving the state (though it would be a bad idea in terms of any future custody issues).

You need to call Next Door at 408-279-2962 (www.nextdoor.org). It's a 24 hour hotline. They will help you get away from him.
