The Power of Storytelling in Family Court - Ashish Joshi on Persuasion & Shared Parenting

How do you persuade a judge in family court? It’s not just about evidence — it’s about the story you tell.

In this powerful discussion, Chris Batcheller from the National Parents Organization sits down with Achish Joshi, a respected attorney known for his work in family violence and parental alienation cases across the U.S. and internationally.


They explore:

• Why storytelling matters more than statistics in the courtroom

• How to make your case credible and human — not just clinical

• Common mistakes lawyers and parents make when testifying

• How to help judges walk in your shoes to understand the parent-child bond


Achish reminds us that judges are human — and that the stories we tell about love, loss, and family can shape the future for children caught in conflict.
