About this event
Organized by
Christian Family, Esq. formerly known as, Jamie Manning, is passionate about removing the stigma from divorce that causes good people to stay in bad marriages for the wrong reasons. Christian aims to improve the lives of children of divorce by using humor and wisdom to reduce family conflict.
Christian was born in Cleveland, Ohio and was first introduced to divorce by her parents when she was 7 years old. A divorce attorney by profession, Christian became an expert on the subject when she participated in her own failed marriages.
In 1999, as a law clerk in the Family Law Division of the Legal Aid Society of Cleveland, Christian began her career as not only a divorce lawyer, but as an advocate for people facing the uncertainty of life after divorce. Christian expanded on this work as a volunteer with AmeriCorps by establishing a supervised parental visitation center in southeast Ohio.
In 2005, Christian entered private practice and she continues to provide direct legal services as the owner of Christian Family Law, formerly known as, Manning Law Company, Christian Divorce Attorneys among the fastest growing firms of its kind. After an endorsed run for Domestic and Juvenile Court Judge in 2010, Christian took a break from the practice of law to stay at home with her first child in 2012.
In 2015, Christian embraced the reality that she embodied the message that was so close to her heart: There is hope after divorce. There is forgiveness and stability and high-functioning well-adjusted children. As a twice divorced, adult child of divorce, Christian's insight into marriage and divorce are unparalleled and impacting lives from workshops, seminars, pulpits, and across the world wide web.
Many marriages end in divorce. In her experience, healthy marriages don't end in divorce. Christian discovered that even though divorce is common there is no resource to help guide families through the process. Christian wants to replace the anxiety, stress, and uncertainty of divorce with hope, faith, and love that will endure.
