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.

Which record? Criminal record or driving record? For CRIMINAL RECORDS: - if they occurred prior to your 18th birthday they will disappear from the public access portion of your record automatically. If you wish, you can file a request to have your record EXPUNGED, but this takes some time and effort and must be done seperately for each individual record you want sealed. For DRIVING RECORDS: they are a running cumulative total of all your driving records since you were first issued one and run for you re entire life. It is not possible to expunge driving records.
