Re: child suport obligation by in-laws?
The payment by the inlaws is not a legal obligation. Apparently, the inlaws were generous to their grand children.
The legal burden is on the father. The inlaws can pay or not pay at will. There is no legal standing which you have to force them to pay anything.

Re: child suport
The in-laws are under no obligation to pay for anything. However if they are living with you then you may be able to evict them depending on ownership of the house. Child support is based on guidelines as it relates to the income of both you and the fathers.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
