My son is being harmed by a court-appointed Guardian ad Litem who has failed to do his job and has shown clear bias in favor of one parent.

Mark A. Roscoe was appointed GAL in 2024. For more than two years he has:

• Never interviewed the child

• Never spoken to childs teachers or any of the father’s family members or collaterals

• Never conducted a single in-person observation of child with his father

• Never visited the father’s home in Michigan City

Never interviewed a single collateral outside of opposing party in over two years.

Instead of investigating the child’s best interests as required by Indiana law, the GAL has ignored evidence, adopted the mother’s exact language in official emails within hours of incidents, and continued pushing unnecessary psychological evaluations even after the psychologist he himself referred the father to (Dr. Marguerite Rebesco) stated in writing that no further evaluation was needed.

The most disturbing evidence is a March 7, 2023 text message in which the mother, Aja Strominski, tells a friend:

“Bill’s husband is Mark Roscoe!!!! … We gotta keep them happy I may need him again in the future!”

Kelly Hooks (the recipient of that text) and Aja had provided cleaning services at the GAL’s own home in Valparaiso. The GAL later claimed in writing that he had “no prior knowledge” of the mother — a claim directly contradicted by this evidence.

On April 27, 2024, the mother’s attorney admitted in writing that she met privately with the GAL at Mixtape restaurant the night before — a prohibited ex parte communication — and that the GAL discussed ordering a psychological evaluation on the father and stated the case “could not be settled because it was not in Lincoln’s best interest.”

The father has already lost incalculable amount of parenting time with his son because of this compromised process. The child is the one suffering.

This is not how Indiana’s family courts are supposed to work. A Guardian ad Litem must be neutral, must investigate both sides, and must put the child’s best interests first — not protect one parent or collect fees while doing nothing.

We demand:

• Immediate suspension of Mark A. Roscoe as Guardian ad Litem

• Permanent removal for cause

• Full return of all fees paid to him

• Referral to the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission for ethics investigation

• Appointment of a truly independent replacement GAL

• Full preservation of all records, emails, texts, and notes related to this case

Every child deserves a fair process. Every parent deserves a GAL who actually does the job. Sign this petition to tell the Court and the Indiana Supreme Court that this cannot continue.
