Q: Noncustodial party convicted of fraud in support claim. Can custodial party have case info sealed?
Single, solo dad here, Los Angeles, with full physical/legal custody of my son for more than five years now. Shortly after the other parent lost all custody rights years ago, she filed a child support claim from a different county, and collected thousands of dollars, with the County of L.A. CSD suing me based on just a filing by the noncustodial parent. After easily proving to the child support division that it was a fraudulent claim, the noncustodial parent was charged, pleaded guilty to, and convicted of WIC 10980(C)(2), with a dismissal of a charge of PC 118(A).
Today, years later, this fraudulent child support case is the very first thing to appear online (via Trellis.law) when Googling my complete name. There's no mention of the child support case being dismissed, just my name attached to a fraudulent child support case.
Do I have any legal recourse to have this case sealed so it's no longer available, or for Trellis to remove it?
Thank you for reading!
A:
more info is needed.
i would retain a lawyer in your area to make a motion to add to the calendar and then move to remove it from your record with the proper evidence.
