A man bought his son a 2025 Range Rover SV for his first car. While his son is away at college, he leaves the car at his mother's house (they were never married). The mother has two other young children (ages 10 and 7) with her new partner, who struggles financially and pays less than 20% of the bills. This has caused tension with the father since his $10K per month child support went towards paying for the house his son lived in with his mom, her boyfriend and her two small children.
On a recent Saturday morning while the son was away at college, the father was having brunch at a diner with his brother when looking out the window he saw the mother of his son, her boyfriend and her kids pull up and park in his son's Range Rover with the boyfriend driving. The mother seemed surprised to see the father sitting in the restaurant and made brief eye contact while the mother's boyfriend gave him a Brooklyn head nod. Now the father is debating going up to their table asking why they're driving his son's car since they agreed it would be parked until he came back home from school.
The father's brother asks if he has the extra Range Rover key on him and he he says yes. Since they drove to brunch together, his brother offers to drive the son's Range Rover back to the father's house and to avoid confrontation he could just text the mother why he took the car. The father's name is the only name on the car as the owner. Should the father approach his son's mother in the restaurant, not say anything and have his brother drive it back to his house or let it go since there are young children?
