Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland
Expunging Records
My ex husband got a restraining order
last year in April. This order expires in
April I was told. I was also told I have
to expunge this order and get it off the
computers. I need an attorney in
Maryland or Wash DC to do this.

You shouldn't have to do anything if the Order states that it expires in April. If you'd like to provide me with more facts, or email me a copy of the order, I can probably give you a more detailed response.

Re: Expunging Records
A protective order cannot be expunged from your record. It is a civil matter, not criminal.
