Can a convicted domestic violence person ever expunge the conviction in Iowa?

You need a lawyer to give you a correct answer on this matter. Noting that this question appears in the firearms category, I'm assuming you want it expunged in order to be able to purchase a firearm. In short, it's not going to happen. Having a conviction expunged doesn't make it go away - it just keeps the conviction out of the public eye. It'll still be on your record, it'll still turn up when your information is submitted to NICS for the background check which accommodates a firearm purchase, and the sale will still be declined. FEDERAL law prohibits anyone convicted of a domestic violence charge - whether a felony charge or a misdemeanor charge - from purchasing or being in possession of a firearm, so, even if the charge is expunged, it'll still be illegal for you to purchase or possess a firearm - not just in Iowa, but in the whole of the United States.

Can you expunge a domestic violence conviction in Ohio?
In theory, any criminal conviction can be expunged. Actually doing it is something else again. Courts are generally reluctant to expunge any record unless there is a clear showing that the original conviction was unjust, or a long period of good conduct has passed with no further criminal actions recorded. The more serious the violation/conviction, the longer one has to show good conduct and the more reluctant a court will be to expunge a conviction. Domestic violence is a serious offense, and courts are very reluctant to expunge these for any reason.

(note I am not a lawyer) You can not own a firearm in Florida with a felony on your record, however if it is a non-conviction, and is your only offense, you may be able to get a lawyer to seal/expunge your record and get your rights restored. This does cost between $600 and $2000 depending on complexity of the case.

You cannot expunge from your record any conviction that was received as an adult. In NC, 16 and older is an adult. If you were convicted of anything, it cannot be expunged. Only charges that were dismissed can be expunged. Your DUI will be on your record forever. Sorry.
How can you expunge your criminal background in order to get your gun rights back?
Expungement won't restore firearms rights. It places your conviction out of the public eye; it doesn't make it go away. If your conviction was for something which is ONLY a felony at state level (not under federal law), you can apply for relief of disability. If it's a federal felony, or a domestic violence conviction, you're pretty much out of luck.

Can you have a domestic battery expunged in Arkansas?
It's theoretically possible to have any conviction expunged, but it doesn't happen very often. For an arrest or conviction to be expunged, the petitioner has to show the court that either a substantial legal error occurred (such as a false arrest), or that justice would be best served by "erasing" the offense. This is occasionally done after a substantial time (many years) has passed since the offense, and the accused has led an exemplary life in the interim. It isn't done just because the accused finds it inconvenient to have that conviction on his record.Added: THEORETICALLY being the keyword. While it may be possible to APPLY to expuinge this offense, I do not believe that it is possible in ANY jurisdiction to expunge a domestic violence charge.They are treated as serious criminal events. The Lautenberg amendment addresses Domestic Violence offenders in the same way as if the perpetrators were convicted felons.

Can a Domestic Violence Charge be expunged in Illinois?
According to the state guidelines as of 2011 Domestic Battery qualifies for expungement only if you received a not guilty or court supervision with successful completion and no other incidents of any kind. Court supervision completed successfully is NOT a conviction and is why it "qualifies". Oddly enough it does not qualify to be sealed... Conditional discharge does not qualify. And while supervision is listed as qualifying I would imagine it a difficult task in getting it "Approved" I am currently trying to expunge Domestic Battery of a "provoking nature" which is as far down on the violence spectrum as you can get . Its equivalent to poking someone with your finger in anger. I am not expecting it to go smoothly.
