Re: property
You should be demanding (directly or through your attorney) that your daughter be returned to your custody rather than his demanding custody of the computer.You are responsible for her well being as the custodial parent. Good Luck!
Re: property
I don't understand why your priorities are with the computer and not with your daughter. If your daughter is refusing to live with you, at the age of 16, the court will not force her to stay.
You need to ask yourself what's important in your life, your daughter or the computer. Also, you need to look at the root cause of the problem why she's run away and not be so concerned with material possessions.
