With a particular concern for the impact of divorce on the relationships between children and their parents, Ms. Bowman has dealt with cases involving allegations of sexual abuse and parental alienation, both as a litigator and as a guardian-ad-litem. She is also trained as a parent coordinator. In less highly conflicted cases, common sense and compassion can resolve most struggles around sharing responsibility for children after divorce, if parents are given enough information about the effect of divorce on children at different developmental stages and about the many options available for parenting plans that keep the best interests of the child at the forefront.

Ms. Bowman is admitted to the bar in New York and Massachusetts and to the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, and the Supreme Court of the United States. She is a member of the Boston Bar Association, where she previously served on the Family Law Steering Committee, and the Massachusetts Bar Association, where she served on the ADR Subcommittee of the Family Law Section. She is a member of the Family Law Section of the American Bar Association and of the Massachusetts Council on Family Mediation. 

For a number of years Ms. Bowman has also chaired a committee that selects distinguished women who have graduated from Radcliffe or Harvard to receive awards given by the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.
