It may be helpful to provide documentation showing that your record was sealed and destroyed, and to consult with a lawyer... Read more »

This question is posted in the employment law section of this site. This is not an employment law question. It is, instead, an intellectual property/usurpation of name and likeness claim. The parents need to find an attorney who works in that field.
Good luck to you.
Is there anything I could file to provide arguments

The first thing you need to do is find a good lawyer. This service does not do that. Here, you can get simple legal questions answered. Your question is neither simple, nor does it include sufficient factual detail to arrive at a reasonable legal opinion of your possible case.

There is a whole lot of information missing. You need to start at the beginning and tell your whole story if you want to get any reasonable response. It must be a long and complicated story, but if you want help you'll need to tell it.

There is no prohibition to continuing in a non-sexual relationship with your girlfriend. However, if you intend to engage in a sexual relationship, that may be an issue.
