Hi, AB1999, welcome to SR. Laws differ in the different states, so the best thing would be for you to get some legal counsel on this situation. Many law offices offer a free consultation and it would give you a chance to ask the questions you need answers to as they pertain to your state.
In the meantime, glad you're here. There is a lot of support here, so I hope you'll stick around and read a lot and post a lot. It will help.
