More details to this question:
My son was falsely accused my his wife and the attorney talked him into pleaded guilty saying the woman always wins, so he did. Now he has this on his record. The wife even tried to have it dropped but they refused. Can he get it expunged after probation? (18 months) His wife left him for another man and wanted him out of the house so she said he head butted her, no marks or anything, but the police arrested him anyway.

In Michigan there is an option called 769 which results in no public record upon successful completion of probation.

He should have been offered a 769(4)a plea. That way it gets dismissed upon discharge from probation. Have him check with the attorney that handled it.
