This raises an interesting Constitutional question.  Does Minnesota acquire jurisdiction over a Virginia resident, just because she marries a Minnesotan?  For all we know, she has never been in Minnesota.  

Can Texas throw a New York doctor in jail, for prescribing medication for one of its residents?

Does Minnesota have "long arm" jurisdiction to assess income tax to a Virginia resident who has no Minnesota income?

Or can they just assess a higher tax on their Minnesota resident, because he married someone from another state?  (I was already a college graduate before the US Supreme Court told Virginia that it couldn't ban interracial marriages.)  

There may be some case law on this, but if these were my clients I would do some research and at least ask Minnesota, who do you guys think you are?  (Nicely, of course.  We all remember Derek Chauvin.)
