It depends by what you mean when you say "house arrest." In Florida, a person can be confined to their home as a condition of release from jail, prior to any conviction or sentence. Alternatively, a person can be confined to their home as part of a community control, which is a very strict probation sentence.

If your fiance was already sentenced then she may be able to transfer the probation to another state and so she could live with you in a different state while still being confined to the home. On the other hand, if her case is still pending then it is very unlikely that she will be allowed to leave the state.
