    Arrest Record w/o Conviction & FBI Background Checks

    My question is this-We live in California & I just finished school to become an Early Childhood Education teacher. My husband & I had a wicked argument when we were going through a stressful time. I was going to take our son & go to Chicago because I'd had it. My husband called the police & said I threatened him so I arrested for domestic violence. This never even made it to court because my husband told the DA he lied, so there was no conviction & I have no past anything on record.
    We have obtained an attorney to try & seal the arrest record. My husband has admitted to lying in a written statement. I won't know the results of this until August. In the mean time what I'd like to know is this:
    If a judge won't seal the record (I guess In CA they are tough on DV) will this show up on an FBI background check? We are moving from CA to KY and they do a FBI check as opposed to a DOJ check. I did my own DOJ check & the arrest did show up. Also, can my husband get in trouble for lying? Our attorne y says probably not but... Any advice is really appreciated. Thanks so much.

    Don't cross post. It's rude. Asking the question in one place will get you plenty of answers.

    I never posted on one of these forums

    and was just trying to find an answer. I didn't know where to put the question so I put it in two categories. I guess you're perfect? You could have let me know this nicely, without being condescending.

    Well he has been on this forum for four years longer than you - and is still here.

    Everybody will see your post, and if they want to reply - they will.

    If you were on the receiving end of a traffic stop for some violation you've never heard of - would you then start an argument with the officer? I believe the same logic applies right now.

    He wasn't being rude. He was being direct. If you don't want direct no BS satements (such as this), don't come to a police site. But if you feel his post was unjust, I'm sure there's a "Contest" box somewhere on here for you to check off and you'll get a date in RP court. ;)

    You didn't know not to post the same thing twice. No need to incite an argument.

    If you can't act like an adult, you can't post here. Take 7 days to think about your actions, and try to act more mature when you return. Otherwise, the next ban you will receive will be indefinite.
