Absolute corruption corrupts absolutely

Had to go to two different hearings and the second hearing I was late because I had a flat tire when I woke up to leave. Had called the attorney general's office multiple times the week before the hearing to inform them that they needed to do their job according to family code 231.1015 they refuse to... acknowledge or do anything to set the case aside and do their job claimed that that's not how it works or that we can't do that. Would not direct me to somebody who would be able to dismiss the case or set aside on their behalf for not doing their job. And just said you got to talk to the judge when you go to your next hearing. I explained that this judges a psychopath from the little interaction that was observed and demonstrated by judge Jenkins. Truly a scumbag of human being. Berates and attempts to humiliate parent(s). So again when in person in the lobby of the Court area speaking to AG clerks and again showing them the law and asking for them to do their job. I was told that there had already been a warrant sign because I was late and that I could talk to the judge to see if she could withdraw it. So I waited over an hour for her to get back from lunch and while riding out a motion to strike and halfway through writing it, I was called into the courtroom by one of the AG clerks. And upon approaching the bench just as I did two weeks earlier at the other hearing and then a bailiff came up to me and was pushing and moving me to put my hands behind my back as he stated put your hands behind your back. So I had no chance to talk and despite my verbal and pointing out the motion that's in my hand for a motion to strike the procedural order of practice as it pertains to a motion for enforcement is that the court must hear the motion to strike before moving on the motion for enforcement. So besides the fact that I should have never even been there twice because the attorney general refused to do their job. I was jailed for a week. And had my car impounded $450 to get out. But all to come back to court and shackles the next week and be told to keep paying the same amount I've been paying because I don't owe child support I pay my child support. And I've already been paying towards the amount that I was perceived to be behind on , all because the AG refused to follow the law according to 231.1015 .. and because Jenkins is a complete psychopath and also is unconcerned with procedure or law. She needs to be out of this position it's unbelievable the amount of damage she must have done to so many families

Absolutely Fair & Advocate for a child

This judge took no excuse for not being able to complete a drug test. She made it very clear to the NCP that this was not a game to be controlled.

Poor excuse of a judge

Judge Jenkins should be ASHAMED how she treats non-custodial parents. She is INHUMANE and her bench should be taken from her! I don’t know how her heart can be so cold and how she sleeps at night. She puts on that robe & forgets what she is truly there for. NOT ALL FATHERS ARE DEADBEAT CHERAMIE JENKI...NS. Stop putting them in a box and assuming they are. Give them the opportunity to speak before siding with the mother. It’s all a numbers game and NOT in the best interest of the child. If she became a judge to make a difference, she’s doing a piss poor job, and she will never break the cycle. I pray over her soul and I pray her kids never have to endure the treatment she has no problem giving to others.

I wish you well with her as a judge

Terrible judge. She did not listen to clear facts on hand and allowed child to stay with other parent who was abusive, manipulative and blatantly lied in court (multiple domestics on record, amongst other things), as was caught in lie by attorney and broke the original order in the first place. She g...ave no consequence. My child was not protected by her and caused a lengthy battle. Extremely rude and talked down to you like you were nothing. Will cut you off when you talk. Its one thing to be stern, but she was not that, just flat out rude. Did not follow the law, did what SHE wanted to do. Allowed the other party to not even follow what she ordered of them, no accountability.
