Q: Having something removed from record?
How do i go about having a dui charge from 2008 removed from record, background check? And also a charge that Im not sure if its on my record or not, but child neglect/abuse that i was never convicted of through court, but had to sign a paper for department of social services when me and my child tested positive for drugs a couple of days after moving home from a bad relationship that i was in and doing drugs while in that relationship. I moved home to get clean, & i was reported to dss for drug use. I told them the truth about doing the drugs & that i wanted help to get off of them. I attended all the classes & hours & finished them within the time giving & my children was released back into my custody. When i apply for jobs or volunteer at sons elementary school they say im not an eligible candidate at this time cause of background. Not sure if its this or the dui & need help getting this removed. My past shouldnt affect my child by me not getting to attend their school events/trips
A: You cannot expunge a DWI conviction from your NC criminal record. You used to be able to, but the expungement law was changed as of December 1, 2015. Hopefully, the legislature will revisit the law and revise it one day.
