Answered by Shaykh Abu Usamah
Al-Salam `alaykum
In the case you mentioned, I understand that your wife is living with you and that both of you visit her parents home now and then. Thus when travelling to your in-laws home you and your wife will be regarded as a Shar`i musafirs and the laws of a travellers WILL apply to both of you.
If your wife was living there then whenever you visited her there you will not be regarded as a musafir but a muqim. (Resident)
