What happens if someone accused of domestic violence gets married while on parole to somone that they are not suppossed to see?
My fiance is currently in jail for violating his parole. He was originally charged with a domestic assault against a previous girlfriend 3 years ago. We’ve been told that when he’s released he is not allowed to live with me, have contact with me or even ride in a car with me (again, I’m not the victim and he has never even so much as raised his voice to me). We had been living together for the past 3 months before his arrest. If we get married when he gets out, will he be able to live with me? Can they force a married couple to live apart?

If your fiance' is now incarcerated for domestic violence, hopefully he has a criminal defense attorney representing him. From what you have written, I see no basis as to why your fiance' cannot have contact with you unless you are a convicted felon. If that is true, then as a condition of your fiance's evential parole he cannot be in contact with you at all.
If he cannot be in contact with you, then the only way you can get married and not be in violation of the order in place as to the conditions of his parole is via a web cam broadcast. I recommend that you also consider consulting with a criminal defense attorney about the question that you have written about.
