    Question Getting A Charge Changed

    I am wondering my fiance was charged with assault second degree on a household family member, this happened almost 3 years ago in Arkansas in the County of Sebastian, I want to sponsor him to Canada, but because of this charge he is inadmissible to Canada, we tried to get the record sealed/expunged but the judge doesn't seal this kind of charge. He is willing to go to anger management classes so that he can get rehabilitation, can someone tell me where he can go and if there is a way where he can get this charge reduced to something else other than assault?

    This denial is predicated upon the judge's personal policies or preferences?

    am not sure, I went to the Court and asked why it was rejected if he has never applied for an expungement and the girl said that because its assault that the Judge doesn't expunge that type of misdemeanor for any one. So now am wondering if that charge can be changed to something else, maybe Misconduct, am not sure if there is a way to do this.
