I have a hit and run (scraped a vehicle in parking lot) and 2 DUI's (high BAL). Did my jail time for 2nd DUI and some probation requirements. I was in an abusive relationship (documented through police and sexual assault victims services) and had nowhere else to live/no job. Talked to probation and asked for help and they suggested the homeless shelter because no womens shelters would take me because I had no children at that time. I left Napa in 2011 and stayed with a friend who was very ill to get away from my ex. I helped her in exchange for room and board. I met my husband and moved out of state and we had our children there. I am a recovering alcoholic, I have completely changed my life and have people who will write letters & proof of therapy. I am hoping to get this transferred to my new state (Idaho). If I pay all fines, what are the chances they will transfer it? Can they force me to move back to California? I want to be with my children. My husband works full time and I care for our kids. I plan to hire a lawyer but I am unsure if we should hide the fact that I moved out of state to avoid charges or be honest because it could help me get it transferred? Any advice is much appreciated.
Thank you!
