Can Domestic Violence Be Expunged In California?

Posted in Domestic Violence FAQ'S on May 1, 2014

Yes. The rules for expungement of any domestic violence charge are the same for most other charges in Calfornia.

First, you must have completed probation for a Felony conviction, or have been sentenced on a misdemeanor to probation OR any sentence.

Second, you must not now be on probation, parole, or have any pending criminal matters.

Third, you must have successfully completed probation, had probation be terminated early, OR convince a judge that an expungement would be “in the interests of justice.”
