Can my DWI affect my future wife's custody of her children?

Answered by attorney Lawrence Thomas Lewis (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Lawrence Lewis, P.C.
It can cause issues for her custody, because while you consider yourself an upstanding citizen, you exercised poor judgement and placed a number of people on the road at risk. It is what it is.

What do you suggest I do to get a license clearance?

DUI/DWI lawyer at Cindy Mannon, Attorney at Law
It sounds like you are doing everything right. An attorney could help because the SOS will compare what you submitted last time with the documents you submit next time, and if there are any inconsistencies, you could be denied. There is also an additional form that needs to be done, a newly revised petitioner's affidavit, which can be found online or you can request a packet with the MI Secretary of State. Being in AA for as many years as you have, not drinking since you stated you drank last time, getting good letters with everyone stating when your last drink was, that you do not associate with drinkers, do not keep any alcohol in your home and what you do for stress relief/recreation (nothing that has alcohol anywhere) also helps. Make certain you do not tell them anything that is different than last time. If you do not have your old documents, you can buy them for $7.00 from MI SOS. I will never represent someone unless I buy the old records. Since you submitted them in 2006, your memory may not be the same and if you tell them something different than you did last time, you will probably not win. Consistency and not drinking/drugging and going to AA is the answer. If you admit to even one New Year's Toast cocktail, you will be denied.

How long do I have to wait to be able to start sealing my record if I had a OWI 5 years ago?

In CA we don't have OWI, if your case is a California case you may petition the court to "expunge" your record once you have completed probation. If you have "satisfactorily" completed probation the Judge has discretion to grant the petition. A DUI lawyer can increase the chances of your record being expunged.
