I'm curious if the different Wards that the Abaroa's and extended "Abaroa's" belong to will be asked to collect donation money for Raven (probably not) or for the coming custody battle for Kaiden. Or if the Abaroa's will just count on the church to fill in the gaps when they claim all of their resources are going to defend their innocent son.
I am not of their faith so I have no idea how that works. I'm just curious as to how this is going to play out. I know the Morman faith is a very generous and supportive group and the thought crossed my mind as to how far they will go to support a member of their faith in such a circumstance.
Karen will ask for donations from family & friends and anyone & everyone she knows, but I doubt she will spend money on hiring an attorney for Raven.
She knows all the mistakes made by Raven throughout the years and I think her main focus will be on Kaiden and I think she will do anything and everything for the sake of "winning!" She's an us vs. them type of person and sadly this is how she'll probably approach things.
Also, with her known spending & overextending issues, it will be a cash bonus raising Kaiden. She will then get any sort of benefits that Raven had been collecting on Janet's murder and I can see her filing for extra money for the state and in this case, I can see her getting extra help monetarily from the church.
As far as the extended family, I feel for all of the innocent family members and what they are going through. I'm pretty sure the ones reading here think that those of us sleuthing are having a ball at their expense. Nothing could be further from the truth. I feel for Kaiden, I feel for everyone in that family, and I am sad for all of them. Poor Jim Bolton is going to end up in the poor house.
Karen raised Raven and I think her parenting skills are lacking and I think she'll use Kaiden as a pawn, and his best interest is definitely not at heart.
I also do not believe the Church will help fund any guardianship or defense of Raven. However, I believe Karen will show up to Church regularly for now on and make sure she starts dressing more appropriately and she'll try to establish herself again. She'll probably try to get help financially from them perhaps for lodging, food & air fare for Raven's trial.
Many people are very kind hearted, I hope that they don't overlook the Lexus SUV, the jewelry and her fancy clothes and her vacations and they will remember it's about what is best for Kaiden and really think hard about if Karen is the type of person they would want raising their child.
