Awful Judge

Gave my child’s father overnight visits after I explained that he is a predator and also abused me physically and mentally our relationship. She yelled at me, called me a liar, and was extremely rude the entire time.

Abuse of Power - Disgusting Judge Behavior!!!

Identical to the other reviews!!! Was hitting me with 30% of income, I explained how I don't get to see my kids according to the decree, she hit me with 36% of my income, because I was putting a burden on her!!! When she is the one telling me she wants to keep them for a bday party or something!!! T...his judge is unbelievable!!! She should be arrested for the duress she puts on the non-custodial!!!

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.

Room for improvement (Judge Cherami Jenkins)

I think Judge Cherami Jenkins can improve the way she administers the hearings in IV-D court. Maybe I caught her on a bad day but for my hearing, it appeared as if she was not happy to be there. Maybe this is the treatment some fathers get or people who represent themselves, I dont know. She seemed ...angry but it was not surprising because one of the AG Administrators who works with this court, Attorney John F. Cashman had attempted to force a narrative and conclude the matter before getting to the judge. Mr Cashman was also very rude and even wanted me to verbally commit to signing the court order before I could even get a copy to review it. I thought that was unusual. He then went on to indicate on the court document that I had declined to sign it. This gentleman was even reluctant to help me with an email address when I asked him to confirm. Maybe he reserves his respect for others but there was little for me. I would have been happy with mere professionalism. During the hearing, it seemed as if the judge had taken a side already or at least more open to hear from one side. It is one thing to be unhappy with a judgement, I am sure this will always happen but it is another to not be allowed to be heard. The lesson I learned was that the truth alone is not sufficient in a courtroom because you may never be given the chance to expose it. It seemed expedience was their top priority. I would just like to encourage the court to be fair and not treat some fathers as if they are criminals. At least, allow them to be heard. I think if not warranted, the intimidation, the yelling, the bullying, the shutting down, the bias, and prejudice should be minimized in the court system especially when adults are debating the best interest of children. Towards the end of the hearing, it was unfortunate to learn that the Judge had assumed, all along, that the kids involved in the case were a boy and a girl as she put it and that was not the case. We may not always like the judgements we get but the hearings that get us to those judgments must be a fair process.

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.
