- Q. How long do I have to wait to have a domestic violence charge expunged in Kentucky?
- A: Depends.
Were you charged in criminal court? Or was this a domestic violence order entered in family court?
If you were charged in criminal court, assuming the charge was not one labeled as a violent crime or an assault 1 or 2, you're looking at 5 years from the date of your conviction/pea/end of probationary period before you are eligible for expungement.
If this was a domestic violence order issued in family court, and it wasn't dismissed by the petitioner, you will not be eligible for expungement for that DVO at all.

- Q. If I got pulled over without having a license , and I've never had one before and the cop never gave me a ticket ,
- A: That's a big fat NO. IF the officer did not give you a ticket with a court date, and informed you that "this was just a warning" - you should not have to appear in court. Be mindful, though, that IF he did provide you with a ticket, most of the time (if not all of the time, and depending on the nature of the infraction) the ticket may list a pre-payable price at the bottom, as well as a court date if you do not wish to pay the ticket and wish to contest it.
- Q. Is there anything I can do about charges my son received due to neglect of the jail?
- A: I’m afraid there is likely no remedy here.
