It is not permissible to abandon Friday and congregational prayers behind an innovator unless it is possible to pray behind someone who is in a better state. Otherwise, you are obliged to perform Friday and congregational prayers with them, unless their innovation is considered an act of disbelief (kufr). It is obligatory to ascertain their falling into innovation before issuing judgments.
