EXPUNGEMENT OF DOMESTIC ASSAULT
Crimes of domestic violence are now eligible for a Minnesota expungement. A domestic assault expungement had previously been prohibited from being expunged under the new Minnesota expungement law.
Crimes of domestic violence, such as domestic abuse, domestic assault, sexual assault, violations of an order for protection (OFP) or a restraining order, stalking, and violations of a domestic abuse no contact (DANCO) order can now be expunged under the new Minnesota expungement law. The severity of the conviction will determine the exact eligibility criteria for a Minnesota domestic assault expungement. There are different waiting periods for convictions of a Misdemeanor, Gross Misdemeanor and Felony. However, if charges of domestic violence crimes were dismissed, then you would eligible for a domestic assault expungement immediately. Waiting periods only apply to convictions and certain diversion program related resolutions.
