Arrest record with no conviction & teaching
My question is this-We live in California & I just finished school to become an Early Childhood Education teacher. My husband & I had a wicked argument when we were going through a stressful time. I was going to take our son & go to Chicago because I'd had it. To prevent me from leaving my husband called the police & said I threatened him so I was arrested for domestic violence. This never even made it to court because my husband told the DA he lied, so there was no conviction & I have no past anything on record.
We have obtained an attorney to try & seal the arrest record. My husband has admitted to lying in a written statement. I won't know the results of this until August. In the mean time what I'd like to know is this:
If a judge won't seal the record (I guess In CA they are tough on DV) will this arrest show up on a federal criminal background check? We are moving from CA to KY and they do a FBI check as opposed to a DOJ check. I did my own DOJ check & the arrest did show up.
If the judge does seal it I've heard it can still show up. Any & all advice is greatly appreciated.
