Using a throwaway cause this is super embarrassing to me.
I am an almost 50 year old male. I grew up in Indiana and had a juvenile adjudication when I was a teenager. The whole thing ended when I was 17 - finished all counselling, probation, and contact with the court. This was a juvenile adjudication in juvenile court. No contact with adult court at the time.
When I was 24, I moved out of the state of Indiana and never looked back.
Now I'm almost 50 and considering a change of career that would involve a background check. I'm worried that the juvenile adjudication from when I was 17 might show up on such a check which may very well cause me some personal issues with family and friends as well as a potential issue with the career change. Other than a few speeding tickets, I've never had any legal issues as an adult. I'm the last person that anyone would think had a juvenile incident. Yet here I am.
So two questions..
What are the odds that a juvenile adjudication in Indiana from ~30 years ago would show up on a background check today?
Are there any risks in seeking expungement of the record?
Thank you, kind internet strangers.
