About Jamie

Jamie Campbell Manning nka Christian Family is passionate about overcoming the stigma that causes good people to stay in bad marriages for the wrong reasons. Christian knows what it's like to need a divorce and not want one. She knows what you are going through because she has lived it. Her insights into marriage and divorce are based on her experience.  Christian stands for the proposition that divorce can reduce the damage caused by conflict and and that it is a road to recreating families in loving and healthy way.

 

Christian earned her Juris Doctorate from Case Western Reserve University School of Law in 2001 after completing her Bachelor’s Degree at University of Rochester in 1998. Her interest in family law began as an undergraduate intern at Rochester’s Mount Hope Family Center. As a law student, she clerked at Legal Aid of Greater Cleveland in the Family Law Division. Immediately after law school she served the Appalachian Domestic Violence Project through Americorp. After a brief time as an Assistant County Prosecutor for a central Ohio county, she went into private practice. Christian has been in private practice since 2005. After many years she founded Christian Family Law (fka Manning Law Company) in 2015 to focus exclusively on family matters.

 

A professed Christian since kindergarten, her goal is to help you avoid the pain and devastation from an ill-advised divorce and from a damaging marriage. As the owner of Christian Family Law, she helps clients clearly identify what God is calling them to do to protect themselves, their children, and their finances. Most importantly she stands for the proposition that God loves you and desires for you to have a healthy, fulfilling, and God-honouring life, so you don’t have to settle for less.
