Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

When my 15 yr. old daughter was a baby (a had not been to court yet with the father regarding custody) I agreed to allow him to visit with her in his home for 3 hours. When I went to pick her up, he refused to return her. When I attempted to go upstairs to get her, he put his hands on me (he had a long history of this) so, my mother paniced and call 911. When they arrived I was arrested for tresspassing. When I went to court, I was placed on 'good-behavior probation'. I was told to come back in one year and if there had been no other incidents, the charges would be dropped. Recently, I applied for an educational program through our county, however, I was denied admission due to a criminal record. Please advise me what paperwork I need to file to have this matter expunged from my record.

There is no expungement of criminal conviction records in the Commonwealth

unless the would be expunger can prove that s/he was wrongfully

convicted of the offense and has received a pardon from the governor.

(See Va. Code Sec. 19.2-392 et seq.)
