Question about Kathryn and her daughter


I'm confused as to how going to Bosnia for work was supposed to help Kathryn be closer to her daughter in the long run. The only thing I can think of is that she needed the money it would bring, but it didn't seem like money was the issue... What did I miss?

Please don't feed the trolls.

The money was the issue. The father had custody of the daughter and was moving with her to, I think it was Florida. Kathryn was distraught because she wouldn't be seeing her daughter anymore, except perhaps the occasional short visit. Then she was offered $100,000 (worth probably twice that now) for a six month gig in Bosnia, and she jumped at it because it would give her money enough to move and buy a place near where her daughter lived with the father.
