It does not sound like this went on your record at all. It sounds like your were on some sort of probation without a conviction. I wouldn't worry about it, but if you are you should go to the juvenile court and find out.

From the facts recited, it would appear that you are guilty of an assault and battery. I would not speak with the authorities again without first receiving legal counsel.

Can I get my misdemeanor domestic violence charge removed from my record?

Christopher John McCann
Answered by attorney Christopher John McCann
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Offices of Christopher J. McCann
If you were convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence, once you are off probation, you can petition the court for a dismissal under Penal Code 1203.4. This is referred to as an expungement. The fact that you had a conviction and an expungement, however, will still be on your criminal history. You can deny it to most private employers, but there are exceptions for government and law enforcement jobs. It is also likely that you would have to disclose it to the military as well.
