If I was convicted of child abuse about 17 years ago, is it possible to expunge my record?
I been living a better life since then. I went to jail, maybe 6 months and went to parenting classes, I was unable to get my 3 children back. How do I find out what I was charged? I am not sure if I got probation and if it was a felony conviction.

An expungement may be possible, but with a felony conviction, it is not particularly likely. You would have to consult with an experienced attorney in your area about all the particulars of the case.
