Re: can i leave the state?
They can try. It will come down to whether they can convince a judge that you ought not be allowed to take care of yourself. Being married would argue in your favor; however, that's not a good reason to get married. My guess is they will have a difficult time getting a judge to order the sheriff to pick you up and bring you back; but it's just a guess.
