When I was young enough to not be allowed in the court room, Abigail Roseman was assigned by the judge of my parent's custody case to be my personal representative. Our numerous sessions consisted almost exclusively of myself describing the mental and psychological abuse my father subjected me to, crying my eyes out, and telling her that I could not handle more time with him. Nevertheless, she would go to court and tell the judge that I wanted a stronger relationship with my father and desired for him to have more assigned visitation. She said that my mother would refuse to let me see him, even though she knew that my mother would let me see him any time I asked. She knew that I never asked. I told her that if court assigned visitation with my father rose to 50%, I would run away from him. But every time there was another court hearing, I was forced to spend more time with him. Finally, one night, it reached a point where I thought my father was going to kill me. The next morning I called CPS and reported the instance, as well as calling my father to say that he shouldn't come to school to pick me up, because I would refuse to go with him. The court finally saw the truth and stated they would not enforce his visitation "rights." Through all of this, Abigail Roseman insisted that I needed to spend more time with my father. Why? Because she wanted to run for judge, and at the time it was politically appropriate for the father to have at least 50% visitation. Maybe she has changed, but at the time of my experience, this woman was not a representative of her clients. She was a self serving character willing to sacrifice the well being of a child for the sole purpose of advancing her career.
