High Conflict, High Stakes: Stop Losing Ground in Family Court

February 19, 2026

In this episode of Out of Crazytown, family law attorney John Schorsch joins host Jackie Miller for a candid conversation about the costly mistakes people make during high-conflict divorce and custody cases.

Drawing from years of courtroom experience, John explains how emotional reactions, overexplaining, and impulsive communication can unintentionally weaken a case. He shares practical insight into what family courts actually prioritize, why accusations and labels like “narcissist” often fail to help, and how parents can avoid undermining their own credibility during litigation.

Together, John and Jackie discuss the importance of strategic communication, emotional discipline, and “controlling the narrative” in a way that protects both legal outcomes and long-term family dynamics. This episode offers listeners a grounded, experience-driven perspective on navigating difficult custody disputes with clarity and intention.
