Chely, each state has a little different process for a set aside or expungment of a criminal conviction. Tell your husband he needs to contact an attorney in the jurisdiction where he got the conviction, not where you live now if it’s different. That attorney will file a petition with the court who convicted him to get it cleared. If the district attorney is not opposed and the judge agrees a simple hearing in chambers will be all it takes. Usually costs about $ 2000 for the attorney fees. (Usually. 🙂
He must have had some time go by since the conviction, usually at least 5 years with no further criminal history on his part for a court to sign off on it. There are a few states where there is no statutes in place for clearing of records, I hope he’s not in one of those. Good luck, Suz

“Family assault” or a domestic violence case may not be a type of conviction that can be expunged. A criminal defense attorney who handles expungements in your state will be able to tell you.
