I had an incredibly disappointing experience with Judge Cherami Jenkins during a recent legal proceeding. The mistreatment I endured from Paula Crockett, Stacy Roundtree, and Judge Jenkins reached such an extent that I felt compelled to record our conversations. Despite diligently providing all requi...red information before the hearing, Paula and Stacy misplaced my documents, causing unnecessary delays. During the call, I faced unwarranted criticism about my current wages, with Stacy continuously expressing doubts about the sustainability of my income and making baseless insinuations about my ability to support my family. Paula accused me of neglecting to provide bank statements, a requirement that was never communicated or necessary. Despite Paula's initial struggle to locate this information, I took the initiative to download six months of bank statements during the call. Both Paula and Judge Cherami Jenkins demonstrated a lack of understanding of self-employment, insinuating that it allows for tax manipulation. They delved into inappropriate inquiries about proprietary business information, including travel expenses, payments to guides, hotel costs, and profit margins. Their criticism extended to questioning me about refunds issued in 2020 and 2021, overlooking the fact that such details are typically handled by professionals like my bookkeeper and CPA. The recorded conversations exposed a condescending tone and biased opinions directed towards me. Stacy's relentless push for increased support payments, along with inappropriate comments about my attire, added to the unprofessionalism. Judge Cherami Jenkins, unfortunately, mirrored the negativity established by Stacy, leading me to believe that Stacy had influenced her opinion before she even joined the call. In addition to this mistreatment, I discovered an overpayment of child support by over $7,000 according to the OAG. Seeking clarification, I received conflicting information from Paula and Stacy, exacerbating my frustration. The treatment I received, coupled with evident racial undertones and biases, is entirely unjustified and demands immediate attention. Furthermore, the rescheduling of the court case and the subsequent request for additional discovery, despite all documents being submitted at the initial hearing, indicate a lack of consistency. Although I promptly provided the requested bank and credit card statements, the court's insistence on additional tax returns, especially for 2023, which won't be finalized before the hearing, raises questions about the court's fairness and procedural integrity. During a discussion with Judge Cherami Jenkins, her advice to present all available documents raised the question of why this inclusive approach wasn't employed during the initial hearing. Despite presenting all available documents at that time, the court seems to have shifted its expectations, creating further frustration and undermining confidence in the judicial process.

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.

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.
