Already employed with the government for around 10 years. I want to make sure I am interpreting Q20.2 from form SF85P correctly.
Have you EVER been convicted of an offense involving domestic violence (such as battery or assault) against your child, dependent, cohabitant, spouse or legally recognized civil union/domestic partner, former spouse or legally recognized civil union/domestic partner, or someone with whom you share a child in common?
About 20 years ago I got in a fight with a former girlfriend. I did get convicted of a county ordiance violation (not considered criminal) of disorderly conduct and had to pay a $200 fine. My reading of the question is that because she is a former cohabitant and that is not listed I don’t need to report this. I feel like if I was supposed to report it, it would be listed like former spouse and former domestic partner is. Essentially former cohabitant would be listed if I am required to list it.
I would like to see if other people agree with my reading of this or not?
Thanks
