Is that something that could hurt potential job oppertunity?
Sure it COULD hurt...but it doesn't mean it will - it all depends on the specific circumstances. My current job stressed the importance to us to notify them immediately of any legal/financial/personal issues or changes in our background.
I wasted no time in notifying them of the issues I ran into and they told me it definitely helped with the adjudication of my Top Secret clearance. Be honest, courteous and absolutely willing to provide any/all details they ask for (they may not require as much detail for a Secret or Confidential/Public Trust Clearance) - it will help prove that you aren't trying to be anything less than truthful or cover anything up.
