T....I might have missed it by was her family so against the lawsuit against your employer? Is their a family connection?
I have asked that question outright several times.
#1 In November 2016 just when I started prepping the legal case I asked SDiL why he was against it. His response "it will cause problems in the family". I didn't see why so I ignored it. In my eyes it was a matter between me and my ex-boss.
#2 In September 2017 after the BD when I met up with SDiL I repeated my question. His response: "I told you last year it would cause problems.". I said "I don't see why?". He started laughing and said "You don't see why??".
That was all I got out of them. MiL never commented about it, she let SDiL do all the dirty work.
The only link that I am aware of is that my MiL has a working relationship with my ex-boss as she is a client of the company. I don't see any reason why an employment conflict would have an impact on that relationship other than embarrassment.
A lot of people in my social circles suspect there may be something deeper, such as a financial underhand deal or something else. If that was the case, why did they not speak up about it?
