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.
