Dispute Over Ownership Of Military Burial Flag.

Card image cap

Location: Minnesota

My significant other passed away last April. We were not married, but had a child together and our second one was on the way. He was in the army and had a military funeral. The flag was presented to his parents during the service.

I had assumed my SO parents were holding on to his military badges and flag. Which I was fine with, whatever they’re old and won’t be around forever. Here I come to find out thru Facebook that both items are all the way in Colorado with his sister.

I told my MIL that I had pictured the kids receiving these items one day. She just brushed the comment off by sending the same damn picture that was on Facebook.

Because we weren’t married everything is going thru probate. It is currently in the final stages and I should be receiving a copy of the “catalog” soon. Do I have any grounds to ask for these items back??? I’m the mother of his children and it’s not disputed that they are his.
